Honorable Mention.

DFW Writers Conference is over, and I can confirm that rharp is incredibly kind and friendly. I would recommend to a friend. :)

I almost wish I could muster some *twitch*. I'm feeling oddly detached right now. wotf014 This is me most quarters. I prefer detachment. I clearly haven't grown enough as a writer because I still love so many things about this story. My biggest concern is that there's a big learning curve for the m...

Today, 1:09 pm EST: David Farland's #WritingTips : "As a judge, I’ve just finished my second pass through the Writers of the Future contest stories for the first quarter..." -- http://davidfarland.com/2016/04/what-does-your-story-accomplish/ UGHHHHH I feel like this entry is pointing it's...

I could really use a Thursday right about now.

Every day can be Thursday in WritersOfTheFutureLand!

Okay, when Martin starts twitching, with a *smiley* . . . then I get nervous.

When Martin starts making ambiguous comments with SMILEYS... that's when we know something's up. What do you know, Martin?

Stewart, please do!

Hello, Thursday! What do you have for us?

Yes, check first, but if you don't find it, you can query Joni. She's pretty gracious about checking on things like that.

I'm still in. I subbed Dec 2nd.

Has Dave even mentioned that he's started reading yet?

It ThurThursday for real now. Can we get this show on the road?

I really, really enjoy watching the Haka performed. So much commitment!

LDWriter, do you mean the Haka?

Also, hello folks! I've entered most of the quarters in the last couple years, but haven't been able to keep up with the forum here. I probably STILL won't, but I wanted to stop in and say hello.

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.
