Back to Journal  « Carrboro Hill Returns as Empty Shell of the Wiki it Once Was | 2007 Submission Log: Week 25 | Indie Spinner Rack mentions IA » 2007 Submission Log: Week 25 June 22, 2007 Submissions 395-396: Stories to Shimmer (my 2nd) and Writers of the Future (my 15th). Though with the finalists posted a few weeks ago on the WotF blog, my story is already at the next market. Rejections 273-274 Honorable Mention from Writers of the Future (2007Q2), rejection from Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show (just over 3 months). Of Interest: "Honorable Mention" is WotF's new name for quarterfinalist, which I think is a smart change. I remember when I received my first QF, having to to clarify with other writers whether it meant "You are a finalist and we'll let you know what happens when the judging is over" or "you were a finalist, but it's all over. Attaboy." And it breaks my baboon heart to read the excitement of recent entrants/quarterfinalists who go from elated to crushed as a veteran entrant reluctantly clarifies. Also a smart move (IMO) is the decision to not list the quarter judges for the contest in the QF/Honorable Mention letter anymore, since Honorable Mentions and Semifinalists don't make it far enough to be read by anybody but the first judge. So the current WotF tally for me at 14 entries is... Non-placers: 6 QF/Honorable Mentions: 6 Semifinalists: 2 Finalists: 0 Placers: 0 ...with the fifteenth in the mail this week, because apparently I need someone to publish and send me a copy of a book called "Dude, Writers of the Future's Just Not That into You."
