However, the publishers and editorial staff have opened the doors to all aspiring or established authors, artists, poets, news hounds and adventurers throughout the Second Life grid. All are invited to become part of the Adventure. Mr. Plutonian explains, We aim to be an outlet for literary and artistic talent as well as a source of entertainment and information for the many so-called Steamlands communities in Second Life. In the fine tradition of such publications as Analog Science Fiction and Fact, Asimovs Science Fiction and Amazing Stories we are open to original submissions of short stories, poetry, photographic and other visual art that fits within our general themes of Steampunk and Adventure. Even better, if we publish your work, well pay you for it. Submission guidelines are available on the Steampunk Adventures In Second Life website (http://steampunkadventuressl.wordpress.com/).
