Ouch, I am sorry, Aliette.

I'm another one of those 15, and I've been aware of it a few weeks now. I'm expecting my 'so close by so far' email any day now.

But hey, you me and Shweta must have done something right to get in that 15, huh?

Aliette de Bodard · Sep 11, 2008

Thanks for the commiserations, but it was a long shot anyway

Shweta, mine wasn't really really themed (in particular, it had a lot of clockwork but not really any fable), so I'm planning to send it out again. After waiting a suitable amount of time so that the flood of clockwork-themed stories dies a bit, of course.

Fingers crossed for those of you in the finals! It sounds like the competition is very tough.

Shweta · Sep 11, 2008

Very cool, Aliette. Hope I see it around

And thanks!

krylyr_dave · Sep 11, 2008

I'd definitely want to read it as well, Aliette. Good luck with it.

Aliette de Bodard · Sep 13, 2008

Thanks!
I'll let you know if/when I place it

krylyr_dave · Oct 1, 2008

Well, I'm out. Got the very nice rejection this morning. A bummer, but honestly, I'm surprised I made it this far.

Good luck to everyone else still hanging in there!

Astrobolism · Oct 2, 2008

Well, I finally heard back, with an acceptance! Yay! Good luck, everyone!

Vincent · Oct 2, 2008

I'm sorry to hear that krylr, it looks like you missed out by a hair's breath, because I got my acceptance today too. Good luck placing it elsewhere, you know it's gotta be a story of quality.

So, we just need to hear from Shweta now... and she might not be back for a week.

Sharon Mock · Oct 3, 2008

A week?!

Congrats, Caleb and Beezle! And

to Dave, but he knows that already.

I think this calls for a :PartySmil

Shweta · Oct 5, 2008

Sharon Mock · Oct 5, 2008

Oh, good. All is right with the world. XD

So, I've got my contract, been paid, and have a lovely little thank you card from Beth Wodzinski at Shimmer. Can't wait for the issue to appear

Vincent · Dec 6, 2009

It's out!

bearilou · Dec 6, 2009

Gratulations to everyone! I just downloaded my copy to read. In the quiet of the morning, I'll sip my coffee and enjoy all of your most excellent stories.
