Anthology on sf sports seeking submissions

Editor Karen A. Romanko is reading submissions for a paperback anthology to be titled Sporty Spec: Games of the Fantastic. She's looking for short-short stories (upper word limit: 1000) and poetry "about sports and games with a speculative twist. The sports and games may be of this world, such as basketball, chess, tennis, poker, etc., or of the author's imagination, but the stories and poems must have an element of science fiction, fantasy, or supernatural horror. If it's not speculative, I'm not interested."

She's paying 2 cents a word for new fiction (1 cent/word for reprints), and $5 for new poems ($3 for reprints). Payments will be made exclusively via PayPal. Expected publication date is late 2007, but dependent on submissions. Full guidelines, including submission addresses, are available on this page.
