Success!

Thanks, Austin. :)

[dantzel]

Congrats Stewart! I thought that story would fit well at Penumbra!

[Jennifer Hicks]

I'm a little unclear on this, but did you sell a story to Fireside too, Jennifer?

I just got word this morning that I won the powerball. (Well, okay, I won $4. Literally, just the powerball number... )

More seriously, and more excitingly for me, I also received word that my short story "Raising Words" is going to be included in the Japanese mythology themed issue of Penumbra. As some of you may know, I'm a bit of a Japanese culture junkie, so I'm particularly excited to be in that issue in particular.

Congratulations, that's awesome!

And, yes, I sold my WotF semi-finalist to Fireside last fall. More recently I sent the editor a flash and received back a very nice rejection today that he enjoyed the story but it wasn't a good fit for the market.

Very cool,

Congrats, Stewart

Congrats to Meagan and Stewart and anyone else I missed!!

[s_c_baker]

Thanks, Jennifer and Steve. That $4 will be most welcome.

Er... what do you mean, "That's not what we were talking about"?!

[E.CaimanSands]

Awesome Stewart!

And grats Jennifer too.

[AlistairKimble]

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

[preston]

Yay, Stewart! You are the man!

[morshana]

Congratulations to Jennifer, Megan and Stewart!!!

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Stewart! I was already looking forward to reading that issue--now doubly so.

[MeganG]

Yay! Congrats, Stewart!

[s_c_baker]

Thanks, all. The 3ish form rejections I've received since then sting less than usual.

[Ember]

Awesome! Congratulations Stewart!!

And Congratulations Megan, way to go!

Thanks for reading, Ishmael, and I shall certainly take "unusual" as a compliment.

[Strycher]

I finally have something to post on here...

I just sold a flash fiction story to Fireside Magazine!

Congratulations!!

I also received word that my short story "Raising Words" is going to be included in the Japanese mythology themed issue of Penumbra.

I also had another recent haiku acceptance--this one to Frogpond

You sell a story to a Japanese themed anthology? I'm shocked, I say, shocked! (Congratulations!)

I guess so, something like that. It was published 10 days later than the date in my contract, so I guess yours might be the same.

Congrats, Elinor. I'll find some time to read it.

Cosmos is a good market. I know the fiction editor, Cat Sparks. She's an excellent writer. Her own collection has just been released by Ticonderoga.

Thanks guys. And yes, Steve, I'm pretty pleased with Cosmos being my first sale. I knew Cat Sparks' name before she bought that story, I know she's well respected.
