Congratulations, Hermione!

If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it. ~ H.G. Wells
If a person offend you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick. ~ Mark Twain

Congratulations!!! Can't wait to read it in 2 days. You mentioned this was a previous HM? How much changing did it undergo before its now polished diamond state?

Congratulations, Becky! You’ve told me about this one. It sounds like a very creative story! Well done!

Hmm. Both a lot, and a little. The plot itself hasn't changed at all since Dave saw it, but the characters have more depth and there have been a number of prose edits as I've learned more and improved my craft.

If you're interested in an HM that reached publication, check it out! It's a fantasy about Grundar, who wants vengeance, and Epohar, who just wants to survive. Enjoy!

I enjoyed the read. Well done, and thanks for posting the link.

Great story, Rebecca! Especially loved the ending.

Nice! I especially love your openings. Tonight, Grundar would kill the Wizard. Can't stop reading after that! Not to mention that it does double duty, with the end circling around to the beginning.

Thank you! I find full circle endings very satisfying.

Nice job! It seems like a story that you could even expand to novel length - lots of potential in that world!

Ha! I was fortunate enough to be a beta reader for Watcher and have been trying to convince Becky to novelize it ever since.

I like your story RSchibler. The surprise ending was unexpected. Good job.

Finally got a chance to read it. Reminded me of Lies of Locke Lamora (which I really like so this is only meant as a compliment) with the heist and fantasy aspect.

I especially liked this description:

"...Wrinkles pressed on wrinkles ..." Congratulations again!

Thank you!

A finalist for multiple Hugos/Nebulas and a Bram Stoker winner just emailed me saying that he nominated my WotF vol 36 story "A Word That Means Everything" for the Nebula, so I'm pretty pumped.

Also just had a flash piece (seven drabbles on immortality) out in Scifi Lampoon:

That's something to get really excited about. Great news, Andy.

That's really cool Andy. Hope you get the most votes. Best of fortune to you.

So...I've been absent from the forums for a couple months because I've had a busy schedule. Most of that was due to me getting my urban fantasy novella prepared for a small press' slush submission window. Well, they passed on it, I was a tad heartbroken, but the editor I know personally and she gave me some strong feedback on how it was ready to publish, I just had to review one thing and correct it.

Then, an hour later, I get a contract offer for the same manuscript from a different press I submitted to six months ago! Signed off on the contract today with Mocha Memoirs Press. So excited to finally have a foot in the door! When the world opens back up, I'll be able to sit on the OTHER side of the con table #levelup

Now to finish edits for my Q2 WOTF story

Congratulations! That’s super exciting!
