SUPERSTARS SUMMARY Hi All, Long time lurker, first time poster. My name is Alicia for those of you not in the know, and Wulf asked me (as with a few others) to write up a small synopsis on something we learned at Superstars Writing Seminar - Feb 2020 (It was SO much fun ♥) THE ART OF THE PITCH As p...

I'm in for Q3!

Good luck everyone

Hey Wulf,

While you and Preston are signing all those books, I'll watch ya'll's trophies... yeah, watch them...


See you both at the gala on Friday!!

I'm in, literally last minute, for Quarter 1 and this SUPER SECRET Bonus Challenge - bleh!
And dang you for encouraging me Wulf! :::shakes curmudgeon fist at you:::

Just in time to watch the ball drop and drink champagne. I'm in, also barely under the wire, and also with a last minute, ditch effort, three-day story (Yikes!) I blame you Wulf for making me enter, and with a new story. Which I might still be grumpy about... wotf001 Good luck all, and Happy New Yea...

I'm in. One of those quarters. Wrote a fresh story in two days. Did revisions in the final hour, raced like a madman through the submission questions, pushed submit at Wizehive at 11:56 PM. I know, I know, I could have used those last couple of minutes to put some sonnets in the story or design ano...

Submitted today for Quarter 4. I'm pretty sure this is the earliest I have ever submitted a story - a whole TWO days before the deadline, haha!

Good luck all, see you on the flip side

~A. Cay ♥

Nothing like getting your Q3 story in on the last day because you finished writing (and hopefully editing it as best as possible) about three minutes before you submitted it. This is NOT how I like doing things, people, but it is done...!

Best of luck to everyone!

HM's are going out also... landed myself yet another one.

How fricken cool is that, Preston, wow!!!

Aw, shucks, Alicia. You are sooo sweet. ***hands over a kleenex, then gets another for myself*** I really appreciate that. The afterglow still hasn't faded. I expect it'll remain for a very long time. Everyone here has been so kind. I'm really really gonna miss entering each quarter. You're welcome...

You are awesome.

Aww, thanks Dustin!
That warmed my heart

Man, two down and I meet with my critique group this weekend to get notes and fix up my Q3 submission. Gettin' it done... although, I'm having trouble coming up with an idea for my Q4 submission as of right now. Good thing it ain't due until Sept...

welp, took some time to let everything sink in, buuut wotf059 first place! looks like you and I will be getting better acquainted, Preston! Congrats again! in related news, when Joni called I gave maybe the weirdest response ever? it went something like this: oh god thank you so much this is amazin...

Hey Wulf, Thanks for the congrats. And yes, you're right, I am Topanga Canyon. I had no idea that I was the subject of a cautionary tale told by Dean Wesley Smith in his workshop about the importance of not giving up. I wrote 47 stories between 1986 and 1992. I was getting personal rejections, but ...

Yay! Congrats Sataris!

Results are in! This was a re-do of the same story that garnered me my first R. So it's a step up at least :)

I'm in for quarter 2!

This is off-topic I realize, but I got my copy of WotF Volume 34 from Amazon today. I pre-ordered it a couple of weeks ago, but the site says the book will be released on April 10th, so I wasn't expecting it this soon. I also checked Galaxy Press's website and it also says the book will be released...

1 down, 3 to go... Quarter 2's rough draft is done, just needs some reworking. Quarter 3's mostly written, just needs an ending -- pesky endings. And Quarter 4's notes are done, and the outline has been written. I plan to have all three done by the end of March, then my time will be freed up for nov...

I'm in!

Hoping for an HM on this one, at the very least

Hey all, I heard a rumor and was wondering about it - thought I might ask here. On a whim, I submitted a story to F&SF in September and my rejection letter from Mr. Finlay was signed, "Best regards, Charlie". Then a little birdie told me that "getting a Charlie" is a thing (y...

I wanted to share some gratitude. Hope no one minds too much ;) One of the many things this contest has done for me, is it keeps me writing. Every quarter since I started entering I have written and submitted a new story (2.5 years now), and from it I have also learned many new things. Things that h...

OMGOSH I made it! wotf024 Like several other new forumites, I'm a long time forum visitor/lurker - for over a year - as I also couldn't get logged on. I'm super happy to have finally gotten on here, I feel like I know some of you guys from reading your posts for so long. Anddd now that I've typed th...
