I don't know about Interzone's reading periods, but if you have a story that you wrote for the Mundane SF issue, Futurismic has just reopened to submissions.
Futurismic specialises in near-future sf; not strictly mundane and not only mundane, but mundane is a big part of what we do. Go read the guidelines, and some of our recent fiction offerings (which, though I say so myself, are bloody excellent stuff).
Disclaimer - I am Futurismic's publisher and editor-in-chief, but I have nothing to do with the fiction selection process. _________________ "I have a fatal compulsion to find a kind of higher sense in things that make no sense at all."

That should bring me a step closer to this year's target of wallpapering the downstairs loo with rejection slips.

Well, only if you print them out - we're all-electronic at Futurismic, y'know.  _________________ "I have a fatal compulsion to find a kind of higher sense in things that make no sense at all."

Just wondering what constitutes near-future? I have something set around 2080ish I'd like to submit at some point.

No hard and fast rules, Junius - all down to the opinion of hard-workin' Chris East, our fiction editor. Basically, if you read the guidelines and reckon your story fits them, then I'd say give it a go. The plausibility is more of an issue than the dating, if you see what I mean.
But anyway, we're threadjacking, which is very rude - this is an Interzone thread!

So, after one or two scenic detours wallpapering project's moving along nicely. 
Any word yet on an email reading period this May?

Ah, good. I've got a couple of projects almost ready. With the semester almost over, I can polish them off and send them to IZ.

Aye, after a big break in my writing-&-submitting, I also have something I'd like to try with the IZ team. Fingers crossed!

And I am just finishing the story I started writing for the first email submission period years ago. It has been like trying to pass a kidney stone the size of Christmas.
