I guess I forgot to check in here, but I submitted my story on December 31st--I didn't accomplish my goal of not submitting on the last day, but at least I managed to get it in!

Submitted December 31st

I'm back on the HM train this quarter...not sure where it's headed, but I am on it! Next stop is Don't-Write-Next-Quarter's-Story-On-The-Last-Day (again)

Honorable Mention on November 14th

I've cycled back to rejections. For those keeping track, I did get the first pass email (I can't remember if I checked in here when I did). I'm off to send the story somewhere else!

Rejection for me

Submitted September 30th

So much for submitting before the last day of the quarter...but I'm in for the 44th time!

I forgot to check in here, but I got the first pass email on September 10th (I submitted on June 30th). I also just realized it's almost the end of the quarter, so I'd better get something lined up.

Submitted June 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

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...
