Nice, Ember! Cograts! 
Well, I finally heard back from Andromeda Spaceways and I'm having trouble believing my eyes. I keep re-reading the email to make sure I'm not seeing things. But it looks like it's finally happened.

I've been waiting a long time to post here, and I couldn't be happier. My re-worked HM winning story is going to be published. I'm more excited than I have any right to be! But I don't care. I sold a frickin' story!

wotf006 Well done Marina!
I made a sale to DSF recently. It is my second sale there, but the first that will count as SFWA qualifying as the first one was so short.
And I missed this one. Victory is yours!

Awesomeness, Preston.
And grats Ember too.
And pleased to see you remembered the
emoticon. I think I might have forgotten to use it a month or so back when I made my first sale. How could I have done that?? Gator is rightly ashamed of me.

Thank you, everyone. I'm super excited and won't believe it until I actually see it. Finally, one of my babies has found a home.

If it helps to mitigate Gator, I think I forgot to use it too...
I also just had a haiku accepted in Heron's Nest. Hooray for haiku.

Fran Friel did a pretty cool interview with me, over at Amazing Stories. A number of my peers--including WOTF Forumites--are mentioned as "new writers to look out for," or as mentor figures who've supported me over the years.
