Success!

[Dr.Bob]

Okay. Caught my breath.

Has the following been shared on the Forum yet?
A number of Forum colleagues made Tangent On-Line's 2016 recommended reading list:
Jennifer Campbell-Hicks, Auston Habershaw, Martin Shoemaker, Tina Gower, T R Napper, .... http://www.tangentonline.com/news-mainmenu-158/3356-tangent-online-2016-recommended-reading-list

Also on the list are Kary English's and my short story Shattered Vessels [Galaxy's Edge #19].
My very sincere thanks to Kary and Mr. Resnick. :)

Um...I'm speechless again.
( Which is maybe why I write)

Respectfully,
Dr. Bob

Congrats Dustin. Enjoyed your story.

Congrats Dustin. Enjoyed your story.

Thanks for reading!

That was my first "funny" story.
Next month I should have my first "literary" story on EDF.

I just got an acceptance from Fifty Flashes. Always good to get that first sale of the year.

Nice! Both you and George are now TOC mates. Still waiting to hear on mine. Maybe...just maybe...I'll join you? ***quickly rushes off to make a virgin sacrifice to the Writing Gods***

Congratulations to all you guys. I do enjoy it when Forumites reap well-earned success.

Right now I can't sell a story for toffee, as we used to say back in the day, but I do have one nice result to share. Time's Winged Chariot made fifth equal in the steampunk section of Preditors and Editors Readers Poll 2016.

This is the first time I've had a story in any such ranking, so I'm very pleased.

The only review I've ever seen of this story didn't like it. Hey-ho!

Very very nice. This means two very important things. Your story had readers and they liked it. And at the end of the day that's why we do this.

Thanks, J'nae, Aaron and Dr. Bob!

And congrats Beth, Dustin, Aaron, Philip, and all the Tangent Online recommended forumites!

Also, I just made my third sale to Galaxy's Edge! Happy happy happy

[Ishmael]

Wow George!

[amoskalik]

Congrats George. Sounds like you are a regular.

[J'nae Rae]

Congratulations George!!!

I'm delighted to report that the anthology Unbound II, Changed Worlds includes my science fiction short story THE HARD STUFF. The anthology is available in print from bookshops or as an ebook.

This is a story about a female-dominated future where men are excluded from senior posts because of their tendency to aggressive behaviour. Our frustrated hero becomes an alcoholic. But what happens when his female superiors have no choice but to trust him?

The anthology includes ten other stories, including one by its editor, M J Moores.

The Hard Stuff is the first of my stories to make it into print in 2017. I've had a few tales knocking firmly on the door without quite getting in, so I hope the drought has now ended and this may be the start of a positive run.

[J'nae Rae]

Congratulations Ishmael!

[disgruntledpeony]

Indeed, congratulations.

[amoskalik]

Congrats Ishmael.

I have a new success (I think). SF2 Concatenation wants to include my Nature story "Ghosts in the Machine" in their "Best of" listing. No money associated but I see that the latest story they've included is Hugo nominated, so good company.

[Ishmael]

Thanks everyone.

Good news Aaron. Always nice to figure in a "Best of" anthology.

[george nik.]

Thanks, Philip, Aaron and J'nae Rae!

Congrats, Philip and Aaron!

My first published story in the year is in Fifty Flashes. Aaron is there too, along with many other well-known names.

Thanks for posting George. I hadn't realized this was out. And I see alphabetical author order puts me at the top

Yes, you are our leader!

By the way, another sale, albeit a much delayed one. The Lane of Unusual Traders has finally accepted my flash piece for LOUTS Stage 3.

[Dustin Adams]

Another for EDF from me. On my anniversary, no less. :)

My first literary piece, as opposed to spec. Enjoy (I hope)!

[J'nae Rae]

Congrats George and Dustin.

I just had a story accepted at Centropic Oracle after 32 rejections. 33rd times a charm

My third podcast just went up in StarShipSofa No 472. My first Galaxy's Edge flash, A Human's Life, joins Richard Johnson's WOTF-winning story In Apprehension How Like a God.

[george nik.]

Here comes my third 2017 publication. The Mirror in the Bathroom went up at Grievous Angel.

[amoskalik]

Congrats George, on both stories.

[hlf]

Looks like 2017 started strong with publication credits for a lot of you. Congrats, all!

I've finally joined the ranks of 2017 stories with 'A Century of Princes' at IGMS.

My first at this market. Also, it's the audio selection for Issue 55 and I rarely get audio'd so...kind of liking this February.

Looking forward to seeing a bunch more stories (and authors!) in this thread.

[J'nae Rae]

Congrats again, George. And Congrats to you HL. That is awesome!

[Tamlyn]

My story 'Watercress Soup' is on the Aurealis Awards shortlist.

I responding in a perfectly dignified way to finding this out. Over here. In my house where there is no one to see me and call me a liar :p
