FICTION: From Jodi Daynard, fiction editor: "I'm looking for stories that are emotionally and intellectually substantive and also interesting on the level of language. Things that are shocking, dark, lewd, comic, or even insane are fine so long as the fiction is controlled and puposeful in a masterly way. Subtlety, delicacy and lyricism are attractive too. Length 1,200- 5,000 words
