GUD submissions

Can you post a link to that? Thanks!

Yeah, I already submitted mine.

*Crosses fingers*

And they do have a cool site, everyone. Join it!

One other thing worth noting is their quick turn around on rejections - plenty of time to turn the story around and send it out again if it doesn't work out. I love that.

Yeah, isn't their average like 7 days or something. (That's for rejections.)

Thanks much!

Issue 3's at the printer, Issue 4's being pruned back to 200 pages worth of content, and yup, Issue 5's been opened to submissions, though it's really a rolling process.

If anyone's looking to get a feel for GUD for cheaper than our (really cheap) $3.50 PDF cover price, we've got a $1.50 PDF deal going on with Issues 0 and 1. I sent that out to folks who'd bought an Issue of 2 as part of their "Issue 3 is now available", and ... might as well make it available to submitters, too.

You might notice a familiar looking duck in their latest issue...

So, how firm is the 15,000 word limit? It seemed a little vague when I read it, more like you were interested more in the story than the word count.

We're more interested in story than word count, but 15,000 is a large chunk of the magazine. If it rounds easily to 15,000, that's fair. If it rounds more easily to 16,000, ... if you make a note and say you're AW and say I said it was ok ... we're still _very_ unlikely to go with it, but you can try us.

Wouldn't 15K words almost be considered serial territory?

It would except that we currently only put out two issues a year, which is slow going for a serial.
