HM

I have just submitted my story! I'm in danger of becoming ineligible so this might be my last chance, folks. Best of luck to everyone! I'm looking forward to obsessing, er, I mean, waiting patiently with all of you.

Hi everyone. *waves to old friends and new* I haven't been around here lately--I feel so out of touch! I've got a story just about ready to go so I'm thinking I'll throw my hat in the ring this quarter.

Sheesh. I'm disappointed and they weren't even my stories. My commiserations to you guys.

The new issue of Perihelion Science Fiction, which includes my story, "To Walk the Earth," is now live! http://www.perihelionsf.com/fiction_6.htm This story was an HM in the WotF contest, and I'm so pleased that it found a home. Lots of great writers in this issue, including Alisa Alering...

My daughter – three fingers old – saw a few minutes of Star Wars Episode IV , in a shop last weekend. She asked me if she could watch the whole thing with me sometime. I wept tears of joy… and then replied, “As long as you don’t tell mommy.” Aww, this is great! I also have a daughter three fingers ...

Welcome to Angel, Metermaid and Fiery! Best of luck with your writing and the contest. Please come chit chat a bit on the other threads!

Got a couple of responses. Thanks! If anyone else would like to exchange I'm still game.

Wow, great news you guys!!! I'm so happy for y'all!

Welcome Addison, and congrats on your recent success!

Voidfire, that sounds great! Glad you made your way over here. I had a similar experience running into WotF folks who nudged me over here. That was just a few weeks before the qtr 4 deadline as well!

Oh my, I see I have neglected checking this thread. Greetings to everyone who has just joined! You sound like an interesting bunch and I hope to see you getting out there posting more to the forums. Happy writing and best of luck in the contest!

I'd love to do a 450 swap if anyone is interested. PM me please!

Impeccable timing, Tina! I came on here with this very question in mind. I will try the 450 exchange

I can't wait to see it! Love the book.

Congrats to everyone!
