Hi! I'm trying to turn my Q2 R into something more respectable. I've done a ton of work on it over the last week, but I'm hoping someone might be interested in a last minute exchange/look over. My own experience in critiquing is limited, but I am more than happy to give it a go. I intend to join Cri...

If it is not too late, I am interested!

I can't figure out how to PM though, so you'll have to PM me.

wotf054 This morning I had a story called "A Sound Like Glass Raindrops" accepted to Unsung Stories!! This is the 9th place I sent it out to, and was starting to believe no one would want it, but there it is, the acceptance letter! It's coming out this Friday...I'll give you guys the link...

Hi RHB! It's nice to see another Aussie on the boards. I think there might be a few others floating around the place, but I'm not sure who they are exactly. That activation issue is frustrating, isn't it? If it doesn't get fixed soon, all the existing members will win or pro out and there will be no...

Titling is a real weakness for me. I pretty much never have a title while I'm writing the first draft. Occasionally I'll come up with a good title after it's finished. My best ever title happened to sell on its first outing ... Coincidence? (Maybe - it also has the strongest voice I've used so far)....

personally I think print is waaaaaaaaaaaaay more awesome. Hehe... My story is called "Winged", and I can promise, magic, mystery, mischief-making, and a little bit of sappiness. wotf047 I agree! And congratulations. Congrats to you too George, you're going gangbusters atm! Did I understan...

Congratulations Jeremy! So cool that you have the artwork with it too.

Hi Martin,

Do you have any updates on this problem? Obviously I have had no problems assimilating a new identity to get on the forum, but there are other who don't have my skills. I can sense them lurking desperately in the shadows and kind of feel like I have a responsibility to be their champion.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I must admit that I am relieved not to have been instantly kicked out for identity fraud.

My first sale was just recently published in the Defying Doomsday anthology. I'm pretty thrilled, it was my first ever sub! Of course it was swiftly followed by 9 rejections. But I count myself lucky that it wasn't the other way around (Rejections are hard!) Here's the blurb: Defying Doomsday is an ...

Hello! My my name is Kristy. I'm from Australia. I've submitted my first two WOTF entries for Q2 and Q3. Some of you might be thinking - "wait, hold up! I remember Ember, she had a story back in V31. She was from Australia, but her name wasn't Kristy ." To those people I say, yes, you are ...

Yay, thanks Martin! Let me know if you need my help getting my friend sorted once you have the POWER!

Hi guys! I have a good friend who wants to sign up to the forum, but she never gets the email that she is meant to click on to verify. (And no, it's not in her junk folder either!) And because she can't log in she can't message anyone for help etc. Who is the right person to sort this out? Is it sti...

I really enjoyed both of those, congrats Stewart and Rebecca!

All of my sales (so far) have been foreign too! I set up a paypal account after I made my very first sale. Now that I think of it, all payment has been via paypal, with the exception of WotF (which was a very pretty cheque.)

Gator, and Elinor! That was a great story! I just adored the last line.

Yay congrats Rebecca and Preston!

(2nd place!)

Congrats Elinor and Rebecca and Stewart! WOOT!

Thanks for that link Stewart, I've got a few flash stories kicking around I think I'll send one their way.

Good luck to everyone waiting on Isolation. I only just clued into the fact that they accept reprints which is a shame because I have a reprint that would have perfectly fit the theme! I just subbed to Penumbra for the first time for the Hyperspeed issue. It was a decision that felt a little tricky ...

Congratulations Kary! Congratulations Jennifer and Tom! Congratulations Rebecca!

Awesome news George and Ishmael! WOOOOOOHOOOOO!

HL, Rebecca and Preston I read your stories and thought they were great! Congrats Steve and thanks for the link! I submitted a story right before the deadline (I tend to write short so I only had *one* story that fit their word count!!) I've been meaning to submit to Australian markets as I haven't ...

I've sent you a PM (I only just saw this). You might want to edit out your email from this thread though to preserve your privacy. :)

Congratulations Stewart! Congratulations Preston and Rebecca! all round.
