I just got one from him as well and it wasn't the same wording. He actually gave me a lot of good feedback and suggestions on what I could do.

Grr...and now when I just went to sumbit my story to Daily Science Fiction...I spent an hour fixing up the paragraphs. Then I click submit and it tells me to log in again. So I do...and I get sent right back to the submission page, and all that time fixing it up was for nothing. Never again am I go...

Honorable Mention

I'm with you. To me, more Star Wars is a good thing!

And we have to remember, the internet "experts" will pooh-pooh on anything. How else would they be able to convince people that their opinion mattered?

Okay, completely understandable!

What's pissing you off? Is he pointing out issues in the stories? Or is he not pointing out anything and just saying "It's fine"? Or is it just the way he does it?

I'd call sharing a panel with David Brin a win!

Happens to me, too. I've found that if I save my word doc as a .txt file before I copy and paste, it generally preserves a more readable format (but I still have to make tweaks by hand). I ran into the same problem and did the same thing. Doesn't get it exactly, but it's closer than .doc formatting.

But this is a speculative fiction forum! Trolls should be as common as dragons, zombies, aliens, and robots around here. (And at least as hungry as Gators!)

They'll eat your goats.

Trolls or gators?

Sent you a PM

I'd like to get a few more opinions on Q2 HM before I send it out on its journeys. Anybody interested in a swap?

HM for me as well

Because of your avatar, I hear everything you say on the forum with a super happy voice. This especially.

I'm with Donkeyface!!

The green color isn't that bad for me, but I like the font better from the other. It looks too skinny to me.

What can I say? I like big fonts and I can not lie....

Yep, second one

The cut out on the ship image seems pretty jarring to me. Try making it a more gradual fade to ease the transition.

Congrats to all of you on your Honorable Mentions and Semi-Finalist spots!! Perhaps tomorrow we'll get the results and this long, long quarter will be over! I didn't have a dog in this fight so I'm aching to get on to Q2!

That may have been more of him saying that your stories were obviously of a certain quality, so you should be able to sell them rather than him saying you should include that in the query letter. I think Sheila Williams has said that she would rather have nothing on the query letter and just let the...

Don't drag, just click. When you do, it will say 'wotf001' or some other number then when you submit, the smilie will show up

I've got a 3800 word story to critique swap. If you're interested, PM me, please!


Thanks!

I like this one much better!

That's where I'm at! I don't have a dog in the Q1 fight, but we have to get through Q1 first so we can get to Q2!

On the contrary, I've used the joke myself many times......because death awaits you all with big, nasty, sharp, pointy teeth!!

Someone yesterday said that this was their Friday, so it seems that we may be in a malleable universe where we can adjust it to our liking. So, come on, everybody all together now!!!!

Well, my name is Tim, but I submitted under T.R. Dixon, so technically, everyone is right!!
