[Tito_Villa]

How are you getting along with the submissions Brian?

My story is 'In progress'

Michael:

Welcome, sir. You've come to the right place!

[MrRoland]

Oh dear. 'Flood Warning' turns out to be an early faller. Must have been that scene with the nuns, the soap and a loquacious mongoose wearing espadrilles. (To be honest I was 50:50 about it myself.)

Good luck to those still in with a shout. I'm off to nail down another tale.

Mine also did not make the grade. I am now busy washing the red ink of the "Reject" stamp off my forehead and then I'll be back at it.

Good luck to the other 798+ of you.

Welcome!

Hey guys,

I've been on the FB radar for a while. Never popped in here, though, I think I know some people here from HWA (which helps me feel less awkward)...

Either way, heyyy! I'm Usman from Florida. Nice to meetcha all! Fingers crossed for me and all of ya for the CD submissions.

Welcome to the forums Michael.

[Michael Wehunt]

Hi all. I'm brand new in town. Being one of the 800+ hopefuls in the CD submission pool, I stumbled across this forum and thought I'd say hello. I also recently read Richard Thomas' "Where to Send Your Stories" article on Storyville. I see that you're a member here, Richard. I'm sure it's been said but that was a wonderful tool and insight you provided all us beginners out there. (I've been at this writing game for close to a year and a half, so I'm not sure I'm a rookie anymore.)

Anyway, I'm joining you folks in the waiting game. I'm a huge fan of Cemetery Dance and can hardly fathom what an honor it would be to make the cut. Good luck to everyone here!

[tchoppy]

I just submitted mine too. I took a chance and just entered it. Fingers crossed.

[Randy D. Rubin]

Very cool indeed. I'm in the middle of an asylum story that I hoped would venture into Novel territory but it seems to be rapping itself up around Novella-ville. It's a bitch trying to write a story about a nympho and not want it to come out too "porny", know what I mean? You know how when you're writing one and it starts to go stale before you finish it? I'm wishing I was done already so I can tackle the next story swimming in my mind-pool. I'm reading The Century's Best Horror Vol 1 and it amazes me how non-horrific these tales are and how richly steeped in prolific language they're written. I'm up to 1905 and its a tough read.

Good, Randy, you? I'm busy editing a few anthologies, one for Black Lawrence Press, one with Chuck Palahniuk. Shopping my 2nd novel still, Disintegration, my agent and I have gotten close, but no offer yet. And I have a new collection, Staring Into the Abyss, out in March with Kraken Press, so lots to do with that!

[Randy D. Rubin]

Hi Richard how the hell have you been lately?

[RichardThomas]

wow. yeah, i figured it was a lot. no worries, brian. i think we all expected it to take several months to start hearing back.
