And in.

Finally sat down and submitted my story. Normally I'm a last minute submitter, but I'm going to be somewhere in the middle of the Nullarbor when the end of the month rolls around (actually, I think we'll have reached Albany or something then, but the point stands). Been ready for ages (it's a heavil...

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!

Officially NOT in.

But I'm getting back into writing/editing mode so hopefully I will have something awesome for next quarter. And I'll make sure I start it in October in case I get sick for the next two months again >>

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!

Due to illness (and laziness, but I'm absolutely blaming the illness) I am unlikely to get something in this quarter. It will be the first quarter I've missed since I started entering. A miracle might happen, I guess, but if it doesn't, maybe I can take the time to actually learn how to write a dece...

grats disgruntledpeony and Kristy!

(took me a moment to translate your message there, Kristy. I had to actually read it aloud)

Congrats!

Story entered (on what is technically the 1st for me :p). Because I'm in the future, I don't normally run into the portal closing early problem but all better now.

I realised on the way home today that I hadn't actually submitted my story this quarter. So I went to do it as soon as I got home and of course it says submissions are closed -_- It's a story I don't think has much of a chance, for reasons, but not submitting will definitely reduce that chance to ze...

Congrats, Jeremy!

Commiserations for not winning, inky, but good luck on published finalist.

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.

grats, greenroom, vjalrik, Jude-Marie, hlreinhold, Athena (woah, lots of semis on the board), and double grats Jeremyteg!


HM for me. Slightly surprised, but I'm sure I'll be back in straight rejections next quarter :p

I just realised I hadn't submitted my story yet. I've had it prepared for a while. But it's done now :)

Because I wasn't in the first wave, I am now presuming my entry has been mislaid and I will receive my rejection after winners have been and gone.

People have, on occasion, accused me of pessimism >>

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 think I've actually decided on a story! Before we even hit the final month! It's a long one (for me... short for others :p).

Welp, I'm in. Don't think it's a very WOTF-y story, but the stories I think might be crash badly anyway so maybe I'll be surprised.

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, morshana!

Congrats to greenroom and Ishmael on semis! And to all others on HMs and SHMs.

Congrats to, well, everyone, it seems!

Also, Rebecca, you have amazing titles.

I need to figure out what I'm writing this quarter. With NaNo and Xmas and all that, the lots of time to the deadline is going to quickly turn into no time :S

Rejected.

The subject line on the email being 2nd quarter confused me (the email was correct), but the rejection itself was unsurprising. I still hoped though!
