Success!

Love your stories Rebecca. Congrats!

Thanks, Lawrence, Preston, Ishmael, and amoskalik! I appreciate it!

And Ishmael, that is a fabulous photo. I'm jealous that you've been the the Netherlands.

Congrats, Rebecca!!!

I have a new story out today in Flash Fiction Online: The Cormorant in the Glass-bottomed Cage

Also, the publisher interviewed me about the story and writing in general: An Interview with Rebecca Birch. My first interview ever!

Woohoo! Beautiful story!

Well, I was beginning to think that the four acceptances in January and February were a flash in the pan (old musketry term folks) and normal service had been resumed. However, I am pleased to report an acceptance of a 7,500 word story by Albedo 2.0

This will be my seventh published flash / short story in total (fifth this year) and the first outside North America / Canada.

Woohoo! Way to go!

Congrats, Philip!

Thanks Rebecca and George.

I got a little carried away. I should have said my seventh acceptance not seventh publication, since two of the four accepted earlier this year are still in the works and only two have actually been published. Still ... my excuse is I'm a bit excited!

Congrats! Awesome news, Philip.

Wow! You've come a long way from that first AE flash piece. Keep it up!

Thank you Aaron and Preston.

The fact is that membership of this forum has taught me a large proportion of what I know about story writing. I am grateful for all the help and advice I have received and I hope I am beginning to be in a position to reciprocate to some extent.

There is still a long way to go, but the journey no longer looks as daunting as it did. Doesn't mean I'll get there of course, but a little bit of success makes all the trying a lot easier.

Huzzah! Congrats! To Rebecca and Ishmael.

And Ishmael, yup, I too have managed the feat of selling stories to three countries not including good old Britannia. (Australia, Canada and the US in my case).

Thanks Elinor. Now if only we could sell to Interzone we would be eligible to enter the BBC competition!

Indeed!

Congratulations Ishmael. Reminds me my goal for the year is to win the contest or pro out. Looks like you are well ahead of me on that one.

Thanks, Elinor!

Hm. Thanks, but still trying to improve on HM for the contest and still trying to sell a second short story at pro rates in my case. Not yet threatening either goal too closely!

My story, "Dear Superhero," is up at Daily Science Fiction today!

Congratulations, Beth. That was a fun story!

Congrats, Beth!

Thanks, Preston and George! This was my first sale to a pro-paying market, so I was (and continue to be) pretty excited to see it in print!

Congratulations, Beth. That was an enjoyable read!

Yes indeed, Beth. A nice psychological twist.

Way to show the other side of the story Beth. Interesting read. Congratulations on the sale.

I couldn't help but notice the name in my inbox yesterday.
Congrats!

Congrats, Beth!

Good one, Beth!

Thanks, everyone! This is giving me incentive to go back to work on a couple of half-written stories I've been neglecting

Woohoo!

My little "Magpie" will appear in The Lane of Unusual Traders !
