A market I won't be submitting to any time real soon...

because somebody had to be keeping Orson Scott Card and John Wright company in my "We don't like your kind" box.
Flash Fiction Online  is the market in question - apparently a nicely drawn ad of two women (see below) soliciting stories for a new LGBTQ issue of Crossed Genres ezine is way too scary and full of the Gay or in this case, the Lesbian/Bi, to run. Must be elbow sex. :-(((
The background and links - tacithydra.livejournal.com/
At any rate, kudos to Crossed Genres for coming up with the concept in the first place, publicizing it and making this sort of B.S. public.

Sorry if I was unclear - I was being facetious. I think the placement of her head is problematic, from an anatomical perspective, but I don't think it was intentional or that there is an in-picture explanation for it. I do like the picture very much otherwise (particularly the full version) but I find that detail jarring.

Oh I figured you were being facetious. But actually the thin ad does kind of make her look like her head's not on straight, doesn't it? ;) I think you're right that it is slightly misplaced, anatomically speaking, even when you see the entire picture.

Yeah, her head is over a bit too far. But the picture's so darn compelling that instead of going "huh, minor anatomical mistake" my brain starts crafting a weird narrative explanation that lets it keep exploring the world of the picture. Even moreso when I see the whole thing.
