This morning I woke up to an acceptance letter, after only 2.5 days!

I'm thrilled to be going and can't wait til October.
I can now announce that I also got into Viable Paradise (silly Alex, announcing early!). I'm so excited!

Woot, I can now announce it too. Apparently, I screwed up before and announced before I was supposed to. Didn't want to go retracting it to bring even MORE attention to my screw-up.

Congrats, GreenRoom, and I loook forward to meeting you in person!

Awesome job on the sales Alimay and Aggy! Good luck with the novel, Lizard.

Alex and GreenRoom, congrats on the VP acceptance! That's awesome. I'm hoping to attend one of these years if I can scrape together the dough (and manage to get in). Perhaps next year.

Congrats on getting into VP! That's awesome. (I'm a little jealous. Just so you know. )

And congrats on the book, Anne. That's fantastic!

Another flurry of acceptances have come my way, including a pro-rate sale (though that one is short enough that I don't expect it to be a SFWA-qualifying sale).

8 days from Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show
71 days from The Alchemy Press Book of Pulp Heroes
6 days from Kzine

Kudos to everyone! It's awesome to see this thread so active.

And that's impressive, mhaynes, especially the IMS sale.

That is so fabulous! A huge congrats, Michael! You're inspiring me. 8 days at IGMS?? The acceptances I've seen have usually been 100+ days. Wow.

Thanks, Eliza (and everyone else)!

Yes, I was very surprised by the quick turnaround on that piece. All I can surmise is that they felt a need for a flash-length piece to fit into a particular upcoming issue.

And a bit of good news myself.
