http://feministsf.net put out this call for papers on Sci-Fi Films. Since so many great film writers and reviewers hang out in here, I thought I'd post this in case anyone is interested in getting published. Pretty neat!

Call for Papers: World Science Fiction Film Edited Volume
The study of science fiction cinema has focused on film from the United States with some notable exceptions. Although many of the famous and most lucrative contributions to the genre come from
Hollywood, a number of other countries around the world have produced both popular and avant garde science fiction films. Even today, despite the globalization of the genre, American and
even foreign scholarship continue to limit analysis to the United States.
The proposed volume would address this relative lack of academic scrutiny and contribute to the international and interdisciplinary study of science fiction film. As editor, I am soliciting new research on all forms and periods of science fiction cinema from around the world. All theoretical approaches
are welcome including (but not limited to) film history, film technology, film and science, comparative approaches, gender studies, genre studies, and eco-criticism. Essays on U.S. science fiction film should be comparative in nature and place these films within the larger global context. Completed essays must be serious critical analyses with minimal plot summary.
They need to be 15-25 double-spaced pages in length, with standard academic citations, and should include a separate bibliography.
Prospective contributors should please send a 1-2 page proposal and a c.v. to:
Sonja Fritzsche, Associate Professor of German and Eastern European Studies, Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures, Illinois Wesleyan University (sfritzsc@iwu.edu)
The deadline for proposals is *October 15, 2010*. Proposals should be sent as .rtf, .doc, or .docx files.

If anyone needs examples on how to cite sources or any crap like that, I'm chock full of that shit from school, so ask away. If I have time, I may submit an old cleaned up paper for this. No time to write a new one, unfortch.
