Braggage

Lots of congrats to go around. Kudos to WildScribe, JR, renard79, Alex, and W.L. Marks...

Woo, is that everyone? Keep it up guys!

 

[GreenRoom]

Now that the Shock Totem contest is officially over (congrats to the winners!) I can officially announce that I sold my ST contest story "The Tell-Tale Ear" to Nature Magazine.

Congrats Alex! Your story got my #1 vote for the contest. I really liked it.

Congrat's also to everyone else - Reynard79, W.L. Marks, JR and Wildscribe.

My story, "The Butcher of Londinium", is now out in the the current issue of OSC's Intergalactic Medicine Show. I'm still amazed I got the cover spot, and I absolutely love the cover art. It's very strange (but cool) to see an illustration of something I've written.

PS. Michael Haynes story is also in this issue.

 

[renard79]

Congrats Alex, W.L. Marks and GreenRoom!

Wonderful news. Keep going everyone!

 

[WildScribe]

Way to go GreenRoom!

By the way, I'm Cali as well.

 

[Eliza C]

And my first bit of braggage to share with you guys as well:

I just signed (well, e-mailed) the contract for my first short fiction sale to Daily Science Fiction.

Two more to go before I can join SFWA.

Congrats!!
I'm waiting now on a response from them. Do they notify you if you move up to short-listed or is it just crickets until you get an acceptance/rejection?

Congatulations to you both! I'm bummed my subscription has expired, so all I could read was the beginning of your story. Maybe it's time to renew.

In the wee hours of my AM, received an acceptance for my poem "An Herbalist's Loves" from Expanded Horizons. Yay! Great to wake up to.

My work goes live in September; will post a link then.

 

[WildScribe]

Awesome, Renard!

 

[W.L. Marks]

Wow! Lots of congrats to go around today. I'm heading over to IGMS right now.

Thanks, Eliza. Daily Science Fiction notifies when you're pushed up to the second round of consideration. Which means a couple of fun-filled weeks of anticipation/anxiety while you wait to hear the final word.

Good luck on yours!

Wow this thread is popping today, congratulations to W.L, J.Deery, Alicia, and anyone I might've missed!

And thanks to those of you who read/enjoyed my story on Shock Totem. It's my favorite contest to participate in, even if I have no hope of winning (because I don't write horror).

They do. You get the "good news/bad news" email. The bad news is a slightly longer wait. The good news is that you made it to round 2.

I have a large collection of those e-mails. Only 2 acceptances from them though. Still, my favorite online market.

Fantastic! Great work GreenRoom and Michael Haynes. (Oh, wait, that last one's me!)

Seriously, I'm looking forward to reading your story; the description in the Editor's column definitely piqued my interest.

Congatulations to you both! I'm bummed my subscription has expired, so all I could read was the beginning of your story. Maybe it's time to renew.

Wow! Lots of congrats to go around today. I'm heading over to IGMS right now.

If either or both of you get to read my story, I hope you enjoy it. I'm thrilled to have a story in IGMS but it's also the first story I've had that I couldn't really just send anyone and everyone a link to and say "Go read it! [If you want.]" So that's a touch of an unusual feeling.

Then again, I also know that it will most likely get reviewed by Locus, so there's an even more unusual feeling!

Congrats Renard!

WLMarks and Alex, thanks for the feedback. I've subbed to DSF a couple of times, but haven't made it past round one yet. I have something in now though that I hope fits their market well -- they were the first place I sent this one. Here's hoping.

I knew I missed someone earlier tonight. Congratulations!

I'm glad I'm not alone in the unusual Locus-y feeling!

And I, for one, will be reading your story tomorrow -- between work and plans after work and posting here (um...priorities?) -- I haven't had a chance yet even though yours is a short short Hmm... think I deleted the part of your post this was in response to, but oh well.

Congrats Greenroom and Renard!

My braggage isn't W1S1, but I have to crow that my middle-grade medieval mystery novel, The London Hurdy Gurdy, was accepted by Royal Fireworks Press yesterday as the sequel to Trouble at the Scriptorium (which is due out at the end of the week). Woo hoo! Makes me want to run around in a suit of armor and sing Gregorian chant!
