Success!

[george nik.]

OK, I'm here again. I think I've become addicted to this thread.

This time I wanted to announce that "Harnessing Hotters" has just been podcast at Manawaker Studio's FFP and you can actually listen to it here.

I can only say that it was thrilling to listen to my story being recited.

[OldDarth]

Nice Philip and George!

[Rebecca Birch]

Congrats again, Philip and George! I hope I get to keep saying that for a long time to come.

As for me, my WotF HM, "The Memory of Huckleberries," is out today in the new issue of Fantasy Scroll Magazine. It was originally published in Penumbra eMag, and was reprinted in Best of Penumbra: Volume 1, so this is its third time out (or 2nd and a half, since the other two are both Penumbra iterations.)

A reminder to myself and anyone with publications--when you have the rights back, don't forget to submit reprints! You can get paid again for the same story! No extra work beyond the submissions effort. And you get the opportunity to get your story in front of a new set of eyes.

Congrats! And good advice.

Congrats George & Rebecca! And don't worry, I'm climbing aboard the reprints train as soon as I can--WotF doesn't have an exclusivity period in its contract (as in, they explicitly tell you there's no exclusivity), and so my Golden Pen winner was off to Podcastle as a reprint 6 weeks ago, and has already been bumped ;D

As for me, I am mighty relived to have proof that none of this is a fluke, because I've just sold a story to farstrider for Issue 3, July/August time. 1500 words of silly fantasy, mocking the genre's tendency towards prophecy-as-plot-motivation. Woo!

[amoskalik]

Congrats Matt. Keep it rolling.

[preston]

Congratulations, George, Rebecca and Matt. Momentum is the word of the day!

[george nik.]

Thanks, Rebecca, Matt and Preston!

Congrats, Rebecca and Mat!

Rebecca, I've read The Memory of Huckleberries in Penumbra and it was great!

I also submit reprints as much as I can -- in fact seven of my 14 sales so far were reprints!

[Muri McCage]

I'm beyond happy to announce that I've sold my story "Mom in the Moon" to Analog! It's been the genre market I've most hoped to sell to, for a long time. Dreams, fueled by preternatural tenacity in my case, really do come true.

That is sooo awesome! Analog! Yeah!

[Muri McCage]

Thanks, Preston. Those two smilies are pretty much what the inside of my brain looks like.

ANALOG

Holy mother of what the bloomin' heck

That's amazing! All the congratulations! (sorry to anyone else who needs any congratulations after this, they're all gone to Muri for being awesome.)

[amoskalik]

Wow Muri. Really awesome.

[Ishmael]

Muri!

[storysinger]

Way to go Muri.

[OldDarth]

Awesome Muri! Most awesome.

[Rebecca Birch]

Congratulations, Matt!

And MURI! Analog?? Way to go! That's very awesome.

[kentagions]

Congratulations Muri!

Analog! Wow! That's a tough one!

You could become the next Martin!

[Muri McCage]

Wow! Thanks guys. We need a blushing smiley.

And, George, that would be extremely awesome. Trying really hard not to count any chickens before they've even been published. Not very successfully. Playing what if is awfully fun.

[Ishmael]

Can't compare with Analog and I almost hesitate to butt in here, however:

My story Last of The Spice Schooners is now live for (podcast) download on Gallery of Curiosities

This story is unsuitable for anyone who thinks that mermaids are cute.

[Muri McCage]

Congrats, Ishmael. No hesitating needed and no butting in possible. This thread is just what it says. A place to share and discuss OUR successes. Every success is as important as the one that came before and the one that came after, regardless of where it landed. We're all in this climb together, and I'm so grateful for all of you. I learn more than I knew I needed to know on this forum.


Oh, and anyone who ever saw the movie She Creature is well over the cute mermaid thing. Shudder.

Congrats, Philip. Maybe I'll get a chance to listen to it tonight.

Very cool.
I had a story that Gallery of Curiosities was strongly considering but in the end passed on. Now I am even sadder. I'll have send them something else just for the chance at some cool cover art.

Congratulations everyone!!

I have two stories out this month (with a foreign-language reprint on the way on the 15th, supposedly).

Story one is original: "Just Another Night at the Abandoned Draft Bar and Grill." You can read this story in Galaxy's Edge, where it shares a table of contents with George RR Martin ( ) and Kij Johnson ( ), among other luminaries. AND Tina Gower, also a contest winner (v29) is in there, too! (For extra bonus points, they actually spelled my name and story title right this time around.)

Story two is a reprint of "Love and Relativity," which appeared in Nature Physics last year. This story's now up in FFO with an original illustration. (It also happens to be the story that's going to be reprinted into Croatian on May 15th. If anyone you know happens to be Croatian.)
