Submission Call: CLAW Volume 2

It is with great excitement that we announce CLAW! Volume 2! The F/F erotic furry anthology returns, rejoining the ROAR and FANG anthologies. CLAW! seeks to showcase the sapphic works of women and nonbinary authors, and is fully trans-inclusive.

The theme for the second volume will be “Women In Power.” We will be accepting a wide variety of submissions that play with this theme across multiple genres. This will be a mature audience short story collection. While erotica is preferred, sex is not required.

Please send submissions as an attached .doc file or .docx file, Standard Manuscript Format to claw@furplanet.com with a subject line that reads: CLAW SUBMISSION: “Story Title” – word count.

Disallowed: We do not want explicit torture, rape, snuff, incest, vore, or underage characters in compromising situations. If you’re unsure about a more extreme kink, please contact us.

Also, please do not include copyrighted material and/or characters for which you do not have the legal right to use.

Submission Guidelines: When submitting, please follow the Shunn Modern Manuscript Formatting (https://format.ms/story). Please note: you do not need to submit your story in a monospace font, nor do you need to convert italics to underlining. Do not use tabs for indents, and use an indent in a paragraph style instead.

Scope: 4,000 to 10,000 words, but the editor may make exceptions for extraordinary submissions outside this length.

Multiple Submissions: Three (3) maximum, but only one (1) will be picked.

Previously posted works: If your story was posted online prior to this, you can submit it. However, you need to link us to it, and keep in mind, the story may change during the editing process. We do not want to reprint previously published works.

Simultaneous submissions: No. If you send a story to us, please don’t send it anywhere else until you hear back from us.

Submissions Open: September 1, 2025

Deadline: April 30, 2026

Response time: Most final decisions won’t be made until after the deadline, but all stories should receive a response by May 31, 2026 

Expected release date: Midwest FurFest 2026

Payment: 1/2 cent per word (at whichever is higher between submitted and edited word count), and one (1) contributor’s copy.
