I get where you're coming from, but honestly, I've had worse. wotf001 Oh yeah, I've had way worse too!

Some great news...


An acceptance to Abyss & Apex and Galaxy's Edge in one week!!!

Submitted December 31st.

Well, I wasn't going to enter this Q. But I got a rejection for a story today that might work well for WotF, so I just submitted it.

Apparently I'm in for the madness.

Good luck to all those who are entering this Q!!

Congrats to everyone!

And my Nature Futures story came out today!!

Breathe the Last Bits of Air

Look, it is a documented fact that unicorns only browse in gardens, where they consume roses, tulips and lilies. All we have to do is go out into our gardens and check. If there are teeth marks on the roses, tulips or lilies, that proves unicorns are there, but hiding. On the other hand if there ar...

Congrats!!

Thank you guys!!

Well, it appears I'm in good company then!!

Um...

Dear Emily,
Thank you for submitting your story Breathe the last bits of air to Futures. I am pleased to say that I enjoyed it very much and would like to accept it for publication.

Okay, I've been telling myself that I shouldn't complain too much about this because I've waited longer for a reply before, but it is driving me NUTS! I have had my SHM story at Asimov's for 115 days now, and not a peep! Not even a change on the submission portal! Their guidelines says they mostly r...

Congrats morshana!!

Well, I think I'm going to be backing out for this Q. I've never skipped one before in the two years I've been entering...wow... It's not that I don't have a story. I have a great one (I think), but I have a perfect idea for Tor.com's novella open submission, and I want to dedicate my time to that a...

*whispers* Thursday...

Okay, can someone point me in the direction of theis twitter conversation. I was looking for it the other day, but couldn't find it...

Well, I'm damn tired of getting R's (the HM and SHM were for the same story, revised). I know I can write. So, it's time to write a story that'll knock their socks off. Sitting down to write right now. This one will do it.

Not Over.

Rejection for me.

Damn. That one I was hopeful for...

O_o Okay, I know we were expecting things to kick off early, but this still caught me by surprise. The suddenness of it has me twitching/checking my spam mail, which I didn't expect to do this quarter. This forum needs a 'hiding under table' emoticon. wotf001 Here, this'll have to do... http://meow...

By the way, speaking of personal rejections, I just received one from F&SF signed Charlie and going into a little detail. I've had personals from here before but always signed CC Finlay. Anyone know if this is a normal upgrade or something unusual? Getting a Charlie is a badge of some renown wo...

Wow, you guys are boring. No conversation on here for 4 DAYS!!!

Is it every one is just busy writing their awesome entry...

This cannot go in any other thread... So I searched the name of my DSF story "These are the Rules of Being a Hero" and found that someone decided to narrate the story and put it up on YouTube. It is gorgeous. This guy has an amazing voice. Seriously, it's only a few minutes long. Listen......

Update from the judge himself: He is aiming to get this quarter judged a little earlier than the previous quarters: by the 1st November (!). I guess we can start twitching... *le sigh* *le twitch* I am surprisingly zen about the whole thing, considering that if finalists will be notified by the end...
