So I'm curious. In our ever-so-dominant W1S1 group in the world of mags and short story markets, what are the places (that aren't too small to have been heard of) we've never gotten accepted in? There have to be some, right?
I'm just wondering. We need to attack those markets!
Apex and Abyss & Apex, too. The W1S1 blog had a list of all the markets W1S1ers had been accepted to. Not sure if the list is still there, tho.I'm not sure about the ones we HAVEN'T been accepted in. But I know that W1S1 peeps have gotten acceptances with several of the better known mags.
Daily Science Fiction
GUD Magazine (not a W1S1 story, but it happened last year so...)
ChiZine
Strange Horizons
Every Day Fiction
Bards and Sages
I'm sure there are others. I vaguely remember someone did sell to Lightspeed last year, but I may be remembering that wrong.
Yay! Sounds like it'll be a lot of fun.I'm one of the new associate editors/slush readers at Allegory! I'm very excited about it and having fun reading slush already. I can feel it improving my own writing too.
Plus I have ten stories out on sub, the most ever for me. I feel very accomplished.

Think of it like that hardcore exercise routine the personal trainer's prescribed for you. You hate it. It hurts, it burns in all sorts of horrible places, how can anybody subject themselves to this torture?
A few months later, though, you're fitter than ever before, full of energy and generally healthier. In fact, you're training for a half-marathon in two months.
Maybe. That analogy mightn't work for you at all.
Anyhoo, use the rage! Pummel that story into submission. Then submit it

I don't see it, either. Boo.I checked but it looks like they took the one from last year down. Or maybe I just couldn't find it.
I'm just that tired right now.
Just submitted my first W1S1 submission - and my first submission ever! Which is pretty exciting. And, strangely, it's poetry - and humorous poetry at that, both things I almost never write.
But Sunday morning, sitting having a coffee in Starbucks before work, I found myself feverishly writing on the back of my shopping list, a short poem that I'm actually quite proud of. Spent today polishing it up, and now it's off!
Can I just say - so tricky finding a market for humour poetry! Jeez.

Go, Elsa!Well done Sam!
I've decided to put my novel on hold for the moment and focus on the short stories for a little. It's a good opportunity to work on some of the weaknesses in my writing that very quickly became apparent in the novel. So I think I'm going to up my W1S1 stories from one per month to two per month.
Welcome back, Nat! Nice to see youHey, everyone. Sorry I haven't been around in months too long, but figured I'd check in now. How're you all doing? For my part, my productivity's been rather pathetic, but I did have the recent Bards and Sages publication (and saw familiar names in the issue!) and just sent in a rewrite request from Beneath Ceaseless Skies.
