Honorable Mention.

Rejection.

Just a note, this thread is for results only. :)

I meant to say this a couple days ago, but HM for me.

So it turns out I do have writing news after all. :)

I sold a story to Fireside Magazine today! No idea yet of when it will appear, but I'm really pleased this story found a home so soon, and to such a new-yet-respected market! Apparently playing with Greek mythology worked for them.

Again, Dustin, awesome story!!!

Rejected!!!!!!

Can someone make a cute smiley for those of us who are in weird moods after being rejected?

This isn't a sale, but I had a baby 11 days ago, and that was pretty successful. I still like her, too. Despite now having to type one-handed.

PONIES!?!?

Where?

Congrats Stewart! I thought that story would fit well at Penumbra!

Shimmer people are quite friendly. I don't think I've heard anything negative about them.

Also an Honorable Mention - my first!

Oh yeah! Arc! I've been meaning to submit something to them but haven't had a story available yet. I adore their submission guidelines!

Congrats Tina, Marina, Greenroom, Steve, and Thomas! Keep up the good work!

I made a semi-pro sale a couple weeks ago to Azure Keep Quarterly, so that was nice. I was glad my story found a home. :)

Looks like there's been a few new faces to the forum since I last checked...Welcome, all! I'm relatively new here myself, and have found it to be a wonderful place to chat, speculate on results, and use lots of awesome smilies! wotf010 wotf017 wotf022 Glad to have you all here with us! My favorite ...

I will NOT click on that link, Stewart. The song is already in my head.

The SASE take MUCH longer to be judged and returned. If you haven't received a response, email the contest coordinator, Joni - you can query about both your results and about your SASE.

Many people prefer to submit electronically - it's much easier on the judges as well.

I've got a bit of flash I need some opinions on. Anyone up for a swap?

Yeah, that would explain it. Well, good to know.

I don't know why it's saying that, so my advice is to email Joni!! She'll help you sort things out. Her email is: contests(at)authorservicesinc.com

Ah, so THAT'S why your name looks so strange!

Welcome Robert!

Is this the one I read?

Awesome! Congrats Preston!

Congrats! They haven't published mine yet... Not sure what to think of that.

A thought, LD: Not that the five senses and the try-fail cycles aren't good, but not every editor wants the same thing, so if the story just doesn't want a certain element, don't feel obligated to put it in. I have a few stories that, based on story structure/style/etc will never* have a chance of w...

It's more because Canada is SO TERRIBLY INTERESTING.

L.D., if you read their submissions guidelines, they give quite helpful descriptions for each of their themes.

The Submissions Grinder is a brand-new website where you can find short story markets, and after you've submitted your story, you can 'track' it and get a better idea of when you might expect a reply. It's also a FREE website. If you feel like paying, you can mosey over to Duotrope, but the Submissi...

Woot Preston! Good luck!

Welcome George! Isaac Asimov.... a few years ago I attempted to read a Foundation book but found it way to detailed (I like stories, not world building). There's actually very little world building in the Foundation series. I find the first two Foundation books to be the story of a civilization (or ...
