I’m very pleased to announce the winner and runners up in the Fantastic Erotica awards!

The winner: “Ota Discovers Fire,” by Vinnie Tesla, originally published in Like a Long Road Home: Erotic Tales of Perilous Travel

And our two runners up!

“The Dancer’s War” by N.K. Jemisin, originally publishing in Like Twin Stars: Bisexual Erotic Stories

and

“Ink” by Bernie Mozjes, originally published in Whispers in Darkness: Lovecraftian Erotica

Congratulations! The winner receives a $250 cash prize, while the runners up receive $100 each. All three stories, along with the other 16 finalists, will be published in the anthology FANTASTIC EROTICA, which is due on bookstore shelves October 1, 2012.

Until then, you’ll have to content yourself with the ebooks from which these lovely stories emerged. (Details below the cut.)

The full list of finalists can be found in an earlier post (here: http://www.circlet.com/?p=3902). It was a difficult decision as each story had much to recommend it. Congratulations to all.
