So, if I eat the cake first, does that mean the acceptances will follow?
I don't know, but I wholeheartedly support the idea of experimenting. A lot.

Email today from an Apex submissions editor. She sent my story on to Lynne M. Thomas. It's my first Apex submission. No idea what my odds are at this point. Are any of you experienced with their process?
My sales always seem to come in packs... After yesterday's reprint sale, I'm happy to report that I sold my 50th original short story today!
"The Indelible Feast" was accepted by Stupefying Stories.
I am celebrating with chocolate and planning world domination, or getting to 100 sales. Whichever comes first.
Well done all, been stuck in novel-world for what seems like an eternity...

Congratulations, Alex! That's a milestone indeed.
One of the three stories I have submitted to Apex was sent to Ms Thomas for further consideration. The bump came at 11 days and (alas!) the form rejection came 28 days later...
On the good news front, I am thrilled to report I sold a poem to Ideomancer. *happy dance*
Congrats, all!
It's been a long while since i've contributed in this thread, but i have W1S1-associated braggage so...
One of my early W1S1 stories (March 2011) has sold to Stupefying Stories. They must be in a buying mood atm!
ETA: to go with the number of stories sold theme: this is #20
Repeating last year's trick, I've sold a story to Lovecraft eZine's "A Night in the Lonesome October" tribute issue.
That's #198. Counting down to 200 original stories sold...
Dude! Congrats!And #199 just came in, to a pro-rate anthology I can't mention yet.
