Good luck to everyone.

Lucian,

I just submitted my story, "Family Heirloom". I have my fingers crossed, my 4 leaf clover and my lucky underwear on. Like they say, they won't help but they couldn't hurt.

Unless the underwear is too tight, I suppose.

But did you eat your Lucky Charms for breakfast??

[Randy D. Rubin]

Has anyone here heard back from Cemetery Dance about their subs either rejected or accepted? I'm still waiting to hear something one way or 'tother.

[MrRoland]

Same with me, Randy. Still waiting.

[RichardThomas]

no word yet.

[Brian James Freeman]

800+ submissions to sort through, so it'll be a while until everyone hears back!

I want Lucky Charms....

[Randy D. Rubin]

Whoa, Brian that's quite a lot. I feel your pain Brother. Need some help? Let me know.

[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.

[Randy D. Rubin]

Hi Richard how the hell have you been lately?

[RichardThomas]

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]

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.

[tchoppy]

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

[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!
