For those of you who love the extremely short form, there's "One Sentence True Stories". The idea is to write a story in one sentence and there's some really great ones at the site. There's no pay. You can find the guidelines here http://www.onesentence.org/submit/ A big hat tip to Brian Lindenmuth who pointed the way from his excellent blog.
And a new market that's looking to launch in September is HauntJaunts.net. They seem to be a travel magazine type zine. They're looking for travel articles and short stories. The shorts must have a ghost, paranormal activity, or a haunted slant of some kind with setting playing an important part of the story. Top word count is 2500. The pay is $5 for stories up to 1000 and $10 for stories over 1000. They have an online submission form. http://www.hauntjaunts.net/index.php?p=1_23_Submission-Guidelines
There's a lovely essay explaining why short story collections aren't poison at The Story Prize blog. http://thestoryprize.blogspot.com/2009/08/psst-agents-and-publishers-short-story.html
And for those of you who get stalled because you don't have the exactly right detail for your story there's "The Power of TK" by Tobias Buckell http://www.tobiasbuckell.com/2009/08/17/the-power-of-tk
