Success!

For those who have a DSF subscription my teeny tiny flash story 'Trophy Wife' should be in your inbox today.

(It is today for me already, I'm just waiting on it being today for DSF)

Congratulations!

I don't have a DSF subscription, but I'll check it out on their site anyway.

Excellent story. Flash typically isn't my thing, but I really enjoyed yours. Well done!

Thanks everyone!

I don't really know where to categorize this since I'm not entirely thrilled that they are publishing both my story and the other finalist story but will only give a prize to the one with the most reads, but here's my flash story for the Story Star Publishing contest:

[Grayson Morris]

They're judging who wins based on how many people read each story? That's kind of arbitrary. Well, I'm glad I didn't click on the other story and read it, too, since apparently my click was a vote. Strange to have people vote for something before they even know what's in it.

(Your story was really lovely, Dantzel.)

[Rebecca Birch]

Very nice, Dustin! Congratulations.

[MJNL]

Yay Dustin!

Half-hearted yay for Dantzel (that sounds like mix-feelings results to me).

[morshana]

Congratulations, Dustin!

Yeah, and half-hearted/mixed-results for Dantzel.

[dantzel]

Thanks for reading, Grayson, and doubly so for enjoying.

I've decided that if I win I can treat this as a SUCCESS! I got paid!!! sort of publication, and if I don't, it'll be filed under success! I got published!

I'm trying to think positively here.

Congrats Dustin. I enjoyed your story very much. You too Danztel. Nice little story. And now I see you just got a semi. You're on fire! Way to go.

Dustin, read your story and LOVED it. So jealous I didn't think of it :) great tone and rhythm.

[morshana]

Dustin - I loved your story, too!

[morshana]

Oh! I read your story yesterday afternoon, Dantzel. Forgot to say: I loved it!

[gower21]

Ah yes. Same here. I forget sometimes people can't read my mind. Awesome job, Dantzel, and I'd be a little mad they published it too.

Haha. Same here, Tina. I read it before dashing off to get the kids from school. Then making dinner and the whole results bomb. I had meant to come and say something yesterday.

And, yes. I'd be mad, too.

I don't think I mentioned it, but great work Dantzel and Dustin! I really enjoyed both of these stories!

Off topic.

I find it funny I always see my typos better when someone else quotes me.

[Ember]

Great job Dustin, congrats!

Dantzel congrats, and I hope you win!

That's because you don't really read what you said. You already know the gist of it.

When someone quotes you, you have to read it to see what they're responding to.

[gower21]

Jess you speak the truth. That could be a huge reason why this happens to me.

Just thought I'd point out that Rebecca's name is featured on the cover Penumbra has up on Duotrope right now. Squee!

I know this got mentioned in another thread, but since it's now official and available, thought I'd post here!

My alternate history short story, "The Maltese Crux" got picked up by The Grantville Gazette. As an added bonus, my story inspired the cover art!
