Anyone else working on a story for this year's Sword & Sorceress? The deadline is the 12th of May.

Just wanted to confirm they're a nice and quick market. My story went online few days after acceptance, received money by paypal the next day, and hey -- 10 bucks for a 160-words story is more than a pro rate ;-)
So pleased you posted this. They've picked up a short photo piece of mine which I didn't think had a market. And they move fast - I heard from them yesterday and it'll apparently be up tomorrow.

alimay, I have something I think I'm going to submit. Are you finished with your story or still polishing? Good luck, regardless!
About 3000 words on the first draft and aiming for around 6000, although I only started writing it 3 days ago, and I've got the plot line mapped out in my mind. Just trying to iron out any inconsistencies and hopefully avoid my usual habit of making the story too freaking dark.
Hopefully willbe able to get something else written as well -- something short and funny, but we'll see.
How about you, Andrea?
And sorry for not including the link.... (Please accept this smilie in lieu of one bashing itself over the head with a hammer:)

Not sure if you guys have seen it yet, but Shimmer is tripling its pay rates!

I'm working on one. Sadly, the same one I thought to submit last year but didn't get polished up in time.
Aggy, has a big drawer full of stuff "to be finished"
Welcome thomas! Good luck and happy writing on your quest for the elusive professional sale!
Got a note from Sword & Sorceress that they're holding my story for further consideration. 3-day turnaround. Speedy.
TMy stories were accepted in our university spec fic journal (not quite on par with the acceptances you all are achieving, but hey it was a committee decision and pub credits so I'll take it). It's a small thing but also exciting, and just what I needed to get my behind in gear again.
