Great! Hopefully we don't bore anyone to tears. ;)

Anyway, looking forward to seeing you there!

What a wonderful post, Steve! :)

I'll be attending and participating on a panel! :) Fantasy and the Reality of Law Enforcement Description: Real-life law-enforcement workers discuss how fantasy fiction portrays law enforcement and compares those practices to real-world law enforcement. They talk about what works in stories and what...

HM for me.

Congratulations, Tom and Stewart! Wonderful news!

Happy to say that I sold two speculative poems (a haiku and a tanka) to Grievous Angel , a new pro-paying flash and poetry imprint of Urban Fantasist. From query to submission to sale took about 4 days, so if anyone's got some flash or speculative poetry lying around, get it while it's hot! wotf007...

Congratulations, Steve, Preston, and Dave! I'm looking forward to reading the stories!

Congratulations, Dawn! That was a fun story!

Wow, I need to get over here more and spend less time simply perusing the Jibber Jabber topics!

Congratulations, Ishmael! Fantastic!

And congratulations to all the others I've missed while away from this particular topic. So many wonderful success stories here.

Rejection.

I had a blast at WorldCon this year, and a huge part of that was meeting all the wonderful WotF people--forum members, lurkers, etc. Everyone I met was friendly, interesting, and truly wonderful to hang out with. I'm looking forward to seeing them all at future cons. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're...

When do they decide/open the next lot of themes? I'm not really feeling any of the remainder for this year. They do say that's when a professional writes his / her best stuff. So let's all try writing down a first sentence on Family Traditions and see where it goes. Actually I wrote my last piece o...

LOL - me too.

Wow, I've fallen way behind on my congrats! So, congratulations to everyone! It seems the WotF success topic is off the charts!

It has a cool illustration too.

Congratulations!

Very intriguing and interesting story!

Congratulations, Stewart! I'm looking forward to reading your story in Penumbra.

Bummer, guys. Tamlyn: there's a whole 15 days to the end of bathe month--get cracking! wotf007 The one-line version of the reject is one I've received before, and the final round is different than the second. Preston: sounds like you have a good chance with it elsewhere, too, if that's its only fla...

I just sold a flash fiction story to Fireside Magazine!

Congratulations, Megan!

Also, congrats to anyone I've missed lately! So many successes among forum members, awesome!

I'll be going. I enjoy WorldCon, however, I enjoy World Fantasy much more--simply because it's smaller (1,000 or so people) versus 4-6k, plus it's more publishing focused...however, this year it's in the UK and still not sure if I'm going. Anyway, I'll be at WorldCon. Annie's advice is sound. Panels...

And I sold another story and have a further two on hold at different mags. Ah yes, these are the halcyon days at Chateau Cameron. cheers Steve Make that three sales in three weeks. I've just received an acceptance for one of the stories on hold (after only 48 hours) with a request to send more stor...

Ok, I guess that is not all since some info was just made public, so I can crow! And Greenroom, she needs to crow big time, too. The results for the IGMS readers' poll are in--and my story "Sojourn for Ephah" (which was also a finalist in WotF) took second place! Second place to none othe...

Congratulations, Alex! Very cool sale!

And congratulations, Tina on all of your news. Way cool!

This thread once raced a cheetah. And won. Revolving doors open for this thread. The universe is big. But not as big as this thread. The chicken crossed the road to find this thread.

An excellent week here at Chateau Cameron. Probably the best week in writing I've had in more than six months. A personal rejection from Asimov's and a personal rejection from Analog (my first). I was shortlisted for a Ditmar award (An Australian SF award) - Best New Talent. My second year running....

Congratulations!

Typically, I'm not a fan of late night rejections just before I go to bed or when I wake up and have one waiting for me, like this morning, however: I received a very personal rejection from Tor.com, indicating I was so close, and that it was hard for them to imagine another magazine not taking the ...
