The action-adventure genre has long been downplayed by critics as shallow and lacking in literary merit. We disagree; a well-written action-adventure story contains all the necessary elements of good fiction. We believe that this genre deserves recognition if only for the sheer reading pleasure it accords the audience, in part due to the vicarious experiences, the likes of which real life so seldom allows. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span>We are looking for stories written in English that provide excitement and thrills through fast-paced action and adventure. Action-adventure stories may take the form of detective or crime stories, espionage, the supernatural or even science fiction. The stories must feature a Filipino protagonist while the setting can be the Philippines or other countries (as in the case of espionage). The stories may be set in the present day, the historical past (no alternate histories) or the imagined future (Earth based, no interplanetary romps). Stories must be 10 to 15 pages long, double-spaced with a font size of 12. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span>Send your stories to: <a href=\"mailto:philactionfiction@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">philactionfiction at gmail dot com <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span>We hope to continue to expand Philippine fiction with this anthology.
