True! If only I knew where they all were....

I'm slow to report in on this one, but I was one of the ones who submitted after the portal closed early, and I received an Honorable Mention email on April 25th!

I forgot to report in here, but I submitted on March 30th!

I have a new story out in the Fell Beasts and Fair anthology!

I heard from Joni yesterday, and she said I'm all set for this quarter!

I haven't done a good job of reading the forum lately, but I think this is great! With my entry today, I'm starting my second decade of 4 contest submissions each year. I cut it closer than I have in a long time on this quarter, so this will be good motivation to make sure I start early on the next ...

I tried to submit earlier today and the application portal already says it is closed. I emailed my story to Joni, so hopefully, I'm in for Q1!

Q2 goal = submit before the last day

Rejection for me

Rejection.

I submitted on 9/29

My other impressive statistic is that 39 of my submissions are consecutive--I submitted and then immediately missed the next quarter, but I haven't missed another since. I can't say that my persistence has paid off with the contest (yet wotf007), but it has helped me generate a lot of stories! 32 of...

I keep forgetting to report in here, but I submitted on September 29th, and I just received the confirmation a few minutes ago, so I'm in for Quarter 4!

I first entered the contest 10 years ago this quarter, and I've only missed one quarter since--this is my 40th entry

Rejection here as well

Rejection

I got a rejection for Q2 and gave it the response all rejections deserve--I sent the story to another market

I keep forgetting to report in here, but I submitted on June 29th...still waiting to hear about Q2...

I was trying to track down a status update on my submissions here today, and I came across a recent comment on the guidelines, which asked the same question (scroll to the bottom of this page for the last question and response: http://blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-gothic/2017-short-story-subm...

I'm in for Quarter 2!

(not sure how the forum will timestamp this, but for the purposes of the list, I submitted on March 30th in my time zone)

After a few years of nearly giving up on it (more than once), my story "Fish and Fools" has been published in Stupefying Stories 1.17 ! In unrelated news, I'm in my first year of Campbell Award eligibility, but I wasn't paying attention, so I didn't make it into the anthology (I almost did...

Well, I broke my Honorable Mention streak, and in the wrong direction, with a rejection. Oh well, on to Quarter 2!

Awesome! I'll check it out!

It's Read an Ebook Week at Smashwords! I just published my story " Changing Keys ," which made its original appearance in Outposts of Beyond , on Smashwords and enrolled in the sale. Use the coupon code SFREE to get it for free through March 11th! https://dwtr67e3ikfml.cloudfront.net/bookC...

Stupefying Stories has resurfaced with an update (it also mentions Straeon--I know someone was asking on here recently, and I don't remember where), but also, the post on their Facebook page today indicates that if you signed off on a copy edit and hadn't heard anything since, you should contact the...

I have a reprint in The Best of Both Worlds Vol. 1

I had been doing good about not submitting on the last day of the quarter this year, but at least I got this one in before the deadline--I'm in for Q1

Submitted December 31st

Rejected March 9th

This was an interesting exercise for me because I usually only pay attention to stats I have control over (mostly stories written and submitted, rather than those accepted or published), but it looks like I've had 4 stories published this year, which is the most I've had in one year: "The Day t...

My consistency continues with another Honorable Mention--my 5th one in a row!

I have a science fiction story in the most recent issue of Aurealis!

Oh, and it's the first story, so you can read part of it in the free sample!
