Now at 50 days in the queue for FFO. The 53-day form R just reported on Duotrope did nothing for my confidence...
Just got an email I'm under consideration at Bibliotheca Fantastica!
Fingers crossed.
In the absolute middle now. Waiting to hear from One Buck Horror (Big ole form R from them in the past) and Shock Totem. I know that one of our brethren recently got an accpetance from ST, so I can only hope some of his luck rubs off on me. If not, I'm sharpening my teeth to chew his bones.
Hey now!! I need my bones to write!
First off, congrats! Second, do you feel that what WP is offering is fair compensation for your story? Because like you, a lot of us assumed they paid more, but it turns out they're a token market--and that should be noted on duotropes. *makes mental note to contact duo*Hey,
Just had an acceptance from Wash Pastime as mentioned on braggage. I submitted under the impression it would be pro/semi but the sum offered is most definitely token.
The story has already had a few R's and I am just really glad she has found a home so I am keen to sell... do any of you think I am mad given recent discussions?
Also, I have it out at two other markets which I will need to withdraw it from. WP have given me five days to respond so what is the etiquette? Can you ask the other market if they are interested too?

Congrats, Small Thing. That's pretty darn close to an acceptance. Is the thing they're worried about a big issue or a small detail?
Don't worry too much about messing it up--you know you write well enough to get them interested in the first place.
Fingers crossed for you.
I heard from Shimmer that a story has been passed up the the full editorial board.
Here's to more waiting--thought this type doesn't seem so bad. The nervous tension alone is helping me cut down on caffeine
Congrats, GreenSquares. I'm anxiously awaiting hearing back on a similar situation there. Wishing both of us luck!
