Quarter 3, Writers and Illustrators of the Future vol. 31

[Brad R. Torgersen]

Luck! Luck! Luck!

[Isto]

Let me be the first to say "RRRRRRRRRRRRR"!
Last in v29Q1, first in vol31Q3 Didn't even have time to *twitch* .

[Imagination Vortex]

Rejection again...this one hit hard.

[ThomasKCarpenter]

Rejection.

Wasn't expecting much from this story, so not really surprised.

[Pat R Steiner]

Rejection

[thewritescott]

Rejection. This one stunned me. I got an honorary mention in Q1 on a much weaker story. Ah well. Back to the writing table.

[Ishmael]

Also R, also a stronger story than my recent HM.

[s_c_baker]

A first-wave R for me. This one had structural problems (notably no climax) so I'm not surprised. It was also a setting I think Dave is on record as saying he disliked, so no surprises here.

[chuuluu]

Hmm, I still haven't heard anything back, and I got the acknowledgment of receipt of my entry on May 1. Good sign or bad?

-chuuluu

[Ishmael]

Hi there Chuuluu, how's things? No news is at the very least not bad news, but most people asking this question are down below jabbering.

[JoeVasicek]

Rejection, misplaced but now they found it.

Onward to glory!

[LaurieG]

Straight reject. There needs to be a smilie with a frown and a tear running down its cheek.

E-mail came in at 5:12 pm EST.

[bobsandiego]

Rejected -
I am too tired of swinging at this piñata.

[AlistairKimble]

HM for me.

[E.CaimanSands]

HM.



Happy snappy with that, it was better than I hoped -- I don't like this story much. I certainly didn't expect any more from it than an HM.

[amoskalik]

R for me.

[amstard]

Since this is my first attempt at WotF, I am ecstatic with this result. Working hard on the Q4 submission!

[MickeyHunt]

HM!
Am pleased. Didn't expect more with this one, actually thought it would be R because of its subversive-to-the-mainstream-political-correctness implications.

[Rebecca Birch]

[Jeffrey]

Honorable Mention for me.

[wellsdesigned]

I'm happy to be back with an Honorable Mention. I haven't placed even there since before the last quater with KD, so to me it's a good sign that I can at least hold David Farland's attention enough to read through the story.

[Dustin Adams]

[jMiriah]

HM for me.
I'm pleased, this is my first time entering the contest :-)

[steffenwolf]

This was my 24th entry to the contest (haven't missed a quarter since I started) and is the only time my story has reached this high.

This is the same story that got shortlisted by Neil Clarke (but ultimately rejected) for Neil Clarke's Upgraded anthology. I'm hoping it will sell somewhere big after those two near-misses.

[george nik.]

[Holly Heisey]

R for me. Ah well.

[Hyperion]

HM.....I guess it's not bad for my first one. lol Still I was hoping for more.
