Agreed. A serious work Dr B.

[Dr.Bob]

I enjoyed your story very much, Dr. Bob. Well done.

Thank you both. :)

Congrats to...well, everyone! Lots of new stories out in the world by all of you.

And I'd like to throw one more of mine on the Success pile (which I think will be the last one of mine out in 2016.)

The antho Time Travel Tales is now available on Amazon and has "Grandma Was a Time Machine" in it by me. And there are a couple of other names you may have seen hereabouts at one time or another in the TOC with some great stories - if you like that science-fiction-y type of stuff.

Just a month off the forum and see what happens

Congrats Matt, Rachelle, Aaron, Preston, Emily, Dr.Bob and HL!

I've only had an acceptance by StarShipSofa recently, but I'm very happy because I love being podcast, and it's my first time there, and it's edited by a fellow forumite, so all's great.

[Rebecca Birch]

Congratulations to HLF & George!

I have a new novelette, "A Breath of Aphrodite," out today in Perihelion Science Fiction. This is the only story I've submitted to the contest twice, because I loved it so much. (Edited the second time, of course.) Both versions received HMs. It's been edited still farther, but I still love this story, and I am SO HAPPY that it has finally found a home!

[Athena]

Congrats! Glad that one found a home!

[Athena]

Well, I finally get to post a success! I made my very first sale!

Joni called me November 15 to let me know that my Q1 Finalist story was selected as one of the published finalists for V33. The other PF and I got word today that we can finally talk about it publicly today, so since I've been bursting to say something, I came here right away to post.

Wow, Rebecca. You really can produce. And your titles are awesome. Not to mention the stories, of course! I'll check this one out. The title intrigues...

[george nik.]

Thanks, Rebecca, and congrats! Good stories eventually find a home -- including the ones that still haven't but one day surely will

Congrats, Athena, that's awesome!

By the way, Issue 2 of Helios Quarterly is now live. In addition to my drabble, it contains HL's story, so go ahead and check it out!

[Ishmael]

Way to go, guys!

Especial congratulations to Athena. That first sale is always magical.

And I've always loved Aphrodite, Rebecca.

Any chance of HL playing Artemis?

[george nik.]

Another one of my stories was podcast. This one at the awesomely titled Radio Show Sculptor Dwarf Irregular.

[amoskalik]

Congrats George!
And a general round of congrats to those who I may have missed. Keep it up everybody!

[george nik.]

Thanks, Aaron!

New update (stuff keeps happening all the time): An 18-minute Galaxy's Edge acceptance (my second sale there)

Oh, and that's my 17th sale for 2016. Not bad, huh?

[Eliza C]

It's been awhile since I've dropped in here. <waves to everyone>
My WotF v30 story was my first pro sale. I've had a few more since then and joined SFWA this year as an active member. Over the past couple of years I've focused more on my novels and am shopping those with fingers crossed. I just recently started a newsletter (stuffs imposter syndrome in the closet and tries to ignore the shouting) and the "Welcome" issue contains a reprint of my WotF story, "The Clouds in Her Eyes." If anyone here is interested, the sign up form can be found at: http://ow.ly/owre303brf7

Congrats, Emily!

Thanks, Preston!

And here's my just-after-Christmas news:

- Truancy 3 was published, including several fine stories as well as my Daughter of the Sea,

- I received confirmation that General Zirkon's Last feelings was accepted to the newly renamed Fifty Flashes anthology,

- I have at last my copy of Helios Quarterly Vol.1 Issue 2 (with Prisoner in Stone), and

- I discovered that an interview I gave to D. Avraham has been already published in his blog -- for quite some time in fact, but I just found out.

[J'nae Rae]

Congratulations George!

[Beth Powers]
