So, it turns out they DID take my steampunk zombie story, The Death Barron [by my other pen name J. A. Ryker.] in The Confederacy Of Steam Vs Zombies.

Well, I did manage to finish a story for the Steam/ Zombie anthology below and actually submitted it for publication. Now I just have to wait until the end of August to hear if they picked it or not.
*Sigh*
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else from here had sent one in?

When we were searching the name Confederation of Steam to make sure there wasn't a book, site or game already using it, I came across this link to a Steampunk themed writing contest.
I think I may write something up for it, and thought I would pass it on in case anyone here would like to give it a try.
From the website:
Theme:
The Confederacy of Steam is a worldwide organization, based in America, whose main purpose is to wipe out the zombie plague, wherever it may strike. Young Doctor Orloff, along with his Zombie Extermination team is the inventor, fabricator and technician of the Confederacy.
Your tale may take place anywhere in the world and in any period of time, from the Victorian era to present day, so long as the world you create is an extrapolated steam-driven world, with the concepts of steampunk intact, and you base your story around expeditions of the Confederacy and its members battling the threat of the zombie plague. It can be scientifiction, adventure, romance, fantasy, whatever genre you like, provided they follow the guidelines of our little world, an uncertain future, where the aesthetics and ethics of Victorian society are combined with advanced steam-powered technology.For the full description, and submission guidelines, click:
