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?

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.

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!

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.

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.
