I still can't really believe it.
Congratulations!

Now when they are recognised by SFWA, their recognition will be backdated to their original publication at pro-rates and my by-that-time already-published stories will be qualifying for SFWA membership. So that will make three (plus one flash which we don't count.)
So I'm working on the assumption that if I make one more pro sale I'll be WotF ineligible when its published, even though technically I might not be, because there is such a time lag between most WotF quarter results and the grand gala that by the time I received I prize I would have been ineligible to enter at the time I entered, if you see what I mean. I'm sure that any decent barrack room space-lawyer could talk his way out of this complexity, but I don't think I shall, unless I do, or shall have done or shall be about to do, or shall have been about to do, unless I don't.
Now I think that makes my interpretation of the rules perfectly clear. Unless it doesn't.

Note to future Matt: go from here.
Anyway, in happy and relevant news, I'm delighted to report that PodCastle have picked my WotF32 story up as a reprint, so it's getting podcasted :D their usual lead time looks to be about 3 months, so hopefully around September for a full reading of it. I love my audiobooks, so I can't wait. (Plus PodCastle has a pretty huge audience, so great news from a career perspective.)
And to make Saturday an extra good day, and to make up for the much-earlier-than-expected form rejection I'd woken up to, PodCastle also accepted the ludicrous fantasy collobaration Stewart & I wrote for the No Shit anthology, which is hilarious news because now some poor sucker has to work out how to pronounce the name of the magic sword, Hrrnngnngrrrndr. I can't even spell it--I have to copy and paste it each time. This is going to be brilliant
