Acceptance thread

[Nik Houser]

Loved your story Craig. Very sweetly done. The combination of the fantastic with a little honey in the narrative always has a pleasantly beguiling effect. One of the reasons Gaiman is so successful, I think.

[Craig Wallwork]

Barbed and pink?! OMG that must have hurt, hahahaha.

Nice story, Nik. Reminds me of one i wrote about a woman who buys a dildo shaped into a shark, and well, she gets it stuck. Sort of leads to a punchline, too.

Hope you like Mr Wadworth.

And Wesley and Oz - very cool news!

[Craig Wallwork]

Cool, Nik. Looks like we'll be in the same anthology Mike is producing. Mine is about that Bordello at Venice Beach. Really looking forward to that anthology. Some great names in there.

Now, off to read your story.

[Nik Houser]

A sort of acceptance and promotion combined - If you like Etgar Keret, then you may like my short story, Mr. Wadsworth and the Flea Circus, which is now over at Thunderdome to help promote the wonderful anthology, Warmed & Bound that features the authors, Craig Clevenger, Stephen Graham Jones, Brian Evenson, Bradley Sands, Matt Bell, Craig Davidson, Blake Butler and Kyle Minor to name a few... oh yeah, and I'm in that too.

Will definitely check that out, Craig. If you've got a few minutes, please check out mine. It's quite short and (hopefully) funny:

FUCK YEAH! I disappear for a little while for deadlines/job/moving and I come back to page after page of acceptances! Congratulations to all! Richard, RJ, Craig, OZ, Wesley, Kenwood. Damn, am I forgetting anybody?

I had an acceptance for an anthology being put together by Mike over at Thunderdome (that was one of the deadlines I had to make). Each story is inspired by a picture he took around LA, and the authors had (naturally) exactly 1,000 words to make something out of it. The picture I chose was a trashcan full of megaphones.

My story "Tinkering With the Moon" has been accepted by Gargoyle Magazine, an annual literary print journal. I'm very happy to be in here. Lots of talented people here in the past: T.C. Boyle, Rick Moody, Allen Ginsberg, Ben Marcus, Jennifer Egan and recently, Ethel Rohan and Kim Chinquee. Our own Nik Houser was in here too, not too long ago.


I love this cover

DUDE! Congratulations! Here's hoping we're in the same volume together.

[Randy D. Rubin]

Yeah Baby! Congrats to all three-- Craig, Wesley and Ozmo for getting them out there. Well done fellow writers. Sirrah!

Gratz, Wesley! And Craig. Just found out I have a story going into the Dead Souls anthology by Post Mortem Press.

I recently had my flash story "He Loves Me Not" accepted into the Indiana Science Fiction 2011 anthology. I wouldn't really consider the story "sci-fi" per se, but the editor liked it, and I guess that's all that matters, right?

Awesome, and congrats on your latest success.

Gratz! Shroud is another awesome publication.

[RichardThomas]

awesome, kenwood, sounds great

[Kenwood]

My story "A Deeper Kind of Cold" was accepted into Epitaphs, an anthology being put together by the NEHW (New England Horror Writers). It's being published by Shroud Publications and, as of right now, is scheduled to be released at Anthocon in November.
