Back to Journal  « Scott Pilgrim is in my Pants | 2007 Submission Log: Weeks 45-46 | Telltale Audio - November 2007 » 2007 Submission Log: Weeks 45-46 November 23, 2007 Practically nothing to report. Submissions 456-458 Poetry submissions to Space and Time and the M&SF Haiku contest. An RPG resoure (magical item) to a Paizo promotional contest. First submissions, all. Rejection 320 Strange Horizons (23 days on a poem) Pulled/No Reply 59 Grave Tales, after about a year. Of Interest I have some issues with the copyright policies of the Paizo thing, but I'm looking at this as my last try-and-see in the RPG-writing department, which for a while was a dream of mine. A lot of strikes against me here: I haven't been an active gamer since D&D 2nd edition, and my entry to this first round may not qualify as a "wondrous item" since it has the form (but not function) of an item in another category. I'll talk more about this if I don't qualify (and talk a lot more about it if I do). Got a qualification letter from the Amazon Breakthough Novel Award (ABNA) thing, but that doesn't mean they've made a judgment whether or not my wordcount meets their definition for novel: "if it becomes clear in the future that your entry violates our eligibility requirements..." So a good chance I won't know for sure until mid-January when the semifinalists are announced, and even then I might not know whether a failure to move on is because of quality or ineligibility. The contest is a longshot, especially for a story like this one, but it's not like I've got an endless number of places to send it next. Happy to let it sit, though I can't say that for every submission out there. Things are happening "behind the scenes." Should be back online at full speed with a site revamp, that promised Clarion podcast, and more fun by the end of the year. Got just over a month to make 2007 a net-positive experience. |
