Ancient New Anthology A project of Deepwood Publishing (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About With this anthology we’re looking for stories that are a strange collection of ancient and new technology. Perhaps chemistry is highly advanced and rockets are commonplace, but electricity was never invented. Perhaps steam engines exist, but are used to replace horses in chariot battles between archers. The story should have one or two aspects of technology that are wildly more advanced than the rest of the society, and thus affect it in strange ways.
