I'm not in yet, but I will be! I've been away a long time... So many things have changed. No more Jibber Jabber. Sigh.

Hi all,

Just FYI. Empyreome Magazine is on hiatus until May 2018. We will reopen submissions at that time for our July issue.

Cheers,

Editor-in-chief

I have a tiny story up today at Every Day Fiction:

Shoot. I really thought I was going to make it in this quarter. Life has a way of getting in the way sometimes. Well, I do still have a few days...

I've sold a humorous flash piece to Empyreome. Thank you Randy!

So if I get an R, I'll wait bit before i send it on else where then.

Good plan

Given I think Joni might have sent my emailed one to him twice because of how I got confirmation from her, and the fact I tried two emails I had I might get two notifications for mine. wotf017 I remember someone saying they got a rejection and, was it a HM for the same story submitted under similar...

However... Flame Tree have a habit of sending acceptances first, rejections after (you can see the pattern on the recent responses on the Grinder). Yeah, this is a procedure that I really don't understand... As someone who helps run a small press, we send out rejections on stories that we know we c...

Yes

This isn't about an interview, but I figured it would be the best place to post it. A new flash story by WotF vol. 33 winner Ville Meriläinen is now up at Empyreome Magazine (my publication). For those who are interested, you can read the story here: http://empyreome.com/read.aspx?id=36 . Do you hav...

Hi everyone, another newbie here - first sub was Q4 2016, which I just found out made finalist! *faints* I'm pretty certain this was just beginner's luck though since after poking around on this site I found out that flash pieces are a tough sell, and my story was only 1,000 words. Still, feeling t...

Congrats everyone! I was working on a western mash-up and Dave sent out his Kick about how he was seeing too many of those.... But I sent it in anyway and hey wotf057 Hey, vjalrik, congrats! Could you share the link to Dave's Kick that mentioned westerns? I don't think I've read that one. Thanks! w...

It's definitely spam

Quick update:
Less than a week to submit a story for Empyreome's July issue. Flash submissions are always open. You can find links in the thread above.

We're very glad you submitted your story!

Finished the first draft of the story I think I'll probably submit for this quarter. The fun is over. Now the work begins.

This site is still shunting me off to the page that says I have made too many attempts to sign in and need to answer a question. We are talking once in three days or so. I find that it does that any time I log in on an incognito window. Most likely requires cookies, and incognito-mode won't store c...

Yeah, that was essentially what Joni suggested, although it did seem strange that I got the R first...

Welcome, all.

I actually used contests and joni. She responded to both messages and then informed me that she strongly prefers we correspond using one or the other as both go to her. Another lesson learned. Yeah, I sent my sub to both emails one quarter, and my story somehow got entered twice. I got an early R a...

Hi fellow forumites, wotf006 Just an update for those who are interested. The July issue of Empyreome is filling up fast, but there are still a couple slots left (preferably for stories between 3,000 and 6,000 words). Here's how to submit: http://empyreome.com/submissions.aspx In addition to stories...

It felt weird missing the last quarter, so I'm more determined than ever to make it in this quarter! Getting my ideas together now...

I'm not going to make it this quarter. Good luck to all who have entered!

Welcome!!

Some of you know that a few friends and I started a little magazine ( http://empyreome.com ) recently. Things have been great, but our site has already been attacked numerous times. About a month ago, someone broke in and injected malicious code into some pages. I was able to detect the attack early...
