And in.

34 was the first time since I started editing I wasn't in for all four quarters.It doesn't seem to have helped me much on the improvement front :p

But I shall try to get my consistency back with 35!

I love the covers to the Flame Tree anthologies and would love to get a story in more for them... but they always seem to have such short submission times. By the time I see it, it's basically over!

Grats, KristyEmber!

I'm just glad they sent the rejections. I saw all the acceptances for the one I'd subbed to first, and often when acceptances pop up first, rejections aren't ever sent.

Congrats, George! Your year is certainly shaping up nicely.

My story 'Watercress Soup' is on the Aurealis Awards shortlist.

I responding in a perfectly dignified way to finding this out. Over here. In my house where there is no one to see me and call me a liar :p

My Q1 story would be perfect for Supernatural. Pity it's the long quarter.

Tried to think of something else and... blank.

I had one original pub this year. And one reprint.

But, hey, that's better than none, right?

Original:
'Watercress Soup' in Andromeda Spaceways, December 2016

Reprint:
'Reflections' in Year's Best YA Spec Fic 2015, August 2016

yay, Athena!

Congrats to, well, everyone, it seems!

Also, Rebecca, you have amazing titles.

Congratulations to everyone who has had success recently (and not so recently!).

Congrats, Martin!

Congrats, Elinor! I saw your name pop up on the contents list and grinned a bit then.

that makes more sense than fly in, fly out.

Update while I was updating: Grats to Ishmael and Jennifer and to George as well (you are on a massive role)! My story 'Reflections', which was my only published piece apart from drabbles this year, will be appearing in The Year's Best YA Science Fiction and Fantasy: Volume Three (goodness that's a ...

Congrats to Dustin, George, George (:P), and belatedly Dr Bob!

I hope everyone has had some successes they wanted this year, and if not, that next year will more than make up for it.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I like the themed places.

Especially since I'd just submitted to a later one :P

On that note, what does that go on to the Grinder as? Returned? Never Responded?

Congrats, alpha!

Grats, Preston and Thomas!

Yay for your story being up, amoskalik, and grats Ishmael and Stewart (who is popping up everywhere, no wonder you forget you get published!)

My first drabble is up today at Specklit: http://specklit.com/blog/2015/07/28/tit-for-tat/ A sale is a sale, right, even if it's only 100 words? :) I'm not sure this next one counts as success in the sense of the thread, but it made me feel successful! A review of the Insert Title Here anthology lis...

Grats, HL and Holly! And, uh, everyone I missed because everyone is being successful :)

I'm pretty sure it's a higher tier form. I've had the same, but with sweet instead of cute (and sweet is indeed applicable to the story in question). So it's definitely better than a basic form, which obviously doesn't have a send more request!

Congratulations, Ishmael!

Grats, Bob!

Me too! No idea what I'll do with the others I didn't sell. Can't imagine there's much call for 100 word stories >>

Well, I managed finalist again for the String of Ten contest run by Flash Fiction Chronicles. (Same as last year.) Maybe third time's a charm and I'll break through to the top three next year? Inevitably. Unless they require three try / fail cycles, that is. wotf016 Well done! wotf010 *collapses in...

I wrote one without realising I only had a few hours left to submit. Missed it :(

I started a list. Only a few names in I realised I need to up my science fiction reading.
