What's Your Age Again?

Okay, for THE LAST open call of the year, published in the last week of January 2026

COMEDIC Romantic age gap

Open Immediately 

Close date: December 31, 2025 

Publication Date: Jan 30, 2026 

What would a 500 year old vampire have in common with a 21 year old human? Not much, but I'm sure it'll be funny to watch. 

First time out clubbing? it's his millionth and loud "kids" are so exhausting. "You call that dancing? That's just throwing yourselves across the floor. I'll show you dancing…" 

You wanna check out the opera? Too bad she was there when it was written and OMG, the pronunciation of that last part... 

The techno wiz dealing with his ancient boyfriend whose latest tech was the printing press. 

"Ugh...turnips again??" 

"Of course. they helped millions get through the famine. they're great for you!" 

**no idea if this is true. 

Doesn't have to be Vampire fiction, but it does have to be paranormal. 

I'm not interested in seeing 70 year old humans dating 20 year old humans. That's just boring real life stuff. Give me the fantastic. Give me the extremes. DO NOT GIVE ME JACOB AND RENESMEE.

Does not have to include sex or even romance. All genders and orientations are welcome. 

Fade to Black, PG-13. If you must swear, do it creatively.

That's a Novel Idea!
