My itty bitty short "A Light-Bulb Moment" is up at AntipodeanSF. It's an ever-so-slightly expanded reprint from 2004, and I'm glad it found new life online. It's a favorite of mine, because that's how I am.

Also, I haven't added it to the HoF yet, because the new podcast doesn't yet have a name (soon, I'm told!) and doesn't yet accept unsolicited submissions, but I was invited to write and submit a horror story a while back based on one of the owner's like of my dark stuff like Mod. She'd also read Smoke and Drum which is fairly dark, too, I guess.

The story I wrote for the podcast, What's Inside, has been accepted. The podcast debuts on Halloween, and I know a couple of the other writers whose stories will appear (and I've read two of the stories in early drafts), but that's it so far. When I find out details and whether or not it's all solicited or they're going to open to subs, I will certainly post about it here.

Yay, Shelley! That's awesome news about the short-short and the podcast! You're on a major roll

Shelley!!

Shelley

That's a very cute story, great job! And congrats on the podcast, it's awesome to get to the point where the editors are seeking YOU out

Alex

VERY cool story, Shell!

That was a real fun story! Congrats!

Thanks, guys!



Shelley

Great story Shelly.
Congratulations!

And do you know what?
I think I've sold something...
Really!!
They have said they want it, and that they will be in touch about contracts and stuff.
I don't know whether I'm supposed to respond to that or to just wait.

And I need to make a paypal thingy...
Lol

I thought I'd be really happy when this happened. But actually I feel faintly sick.

Edit. I've had a marmite sandwich and feel a lot better.
In fact I'm rather chuffed about it now.

Congrats Lillie!

Do reply to say thank you for the acceptance and that you are excited to have your work appear in their publication... at least that's what I always do.

PayPal account is super easy to set up, it shouldn't be an issue, just make sure the email address you use to send out submissions is associated with the account.

Let us know where your story will appear when you can.

Thanks.

I have a paypal thing now, and I replied to the acceptance saying thank you.

Yay!
How exciting!

Congrats, Lily!

Thanks!

I can haz sheep now.

Yay, Lillie!!! I knew you could do it! You work so hard and deserve this. I can't wait to hear where you'll be published

Here's some more sheep:

And how about a snoopy just for the hell of it?

Yay! A Snoopy.

I'll say when it's all confirmed. I don't want to jump the gun.

Shelley

Woo-hoo Lillie!

Thanks.

I'm dying to tell you all!
But I'm terrified of jinxing it.

Yay, Lillz!

Whoohoo Lillie!

Hmmm...weren't you waiting on a ChiZine response?

Lillie! That's so cool! Your first, right? Big congrats and let us know when and where soon.

So awesome, Lillie! Congrats!

ChiZine did have a buttload of responses today, but I'm not seeing any acceptances...hmm...
