I thought Penumbra didn't allow multiple submissions.
If you have a story short-listed for an issue there, you may submit for a different issue. I'd be sad otherwise, since they've had my Animals story for over 100 days.

Hmm, I'll query them about it, 'cause I wouldn't mind submitting something to the politics issue.
ETA: Queried them -- that was fast! It's okay to send multiple stories, they just don't want the same story submitted multiple times or sim-subs.

I was wondering how late they would leave it. I like the look of this market. I'm just wondering how many people reach round two and what percentage make the cut.
Strange, in my message saying I'd made round two they said I could withdraw it if it got accepted elsewhere making me think sim-subs were ok.

Same here. Hmm, I dunno. Perhaps it was once okay to do sim-subs but they've since changed their mind, and haven't changed the "you've been bumped up to the editors" response.
Penumbra just announced their acceptances for the Steampunk issue.
Steampunk! I completely forgot about that one. I expected to hear back any day now about my Animals issue submission. Guess it'll be another month now.
The next 3 should be Animals, Fractured Fairy Tales and Manga -- but does anyone recall in which order?

Still waiting for a response from Apex and Stupefying Stories. Also, Every Day Fiction, Mixer and Tor.com. (Tor.com has a long way to go though.)
Aggy, lots of crickets

Wish i had written down the other themes for them now lol
I dunno if it helps or not but the deadline was Nov 30 for animals, waiting on mine too
Thanks. I'm fairly sure Animals is next. I remember a call for Manga submissions, but don't see a room for it on their monthly calendar. Maybe it was scrapped? Best I can tell it should be:
Steampunk - March
Animals - April
Fractured Fairy Tales: May
Greco-Roman Mythology: June
Politics: July
Dreams: August

I was expecting animals too! Guess it will be another month then. Seems there are a lot of us in that second round from this forum. I hope we all make it! Wouldn't that be awesome?
That would be crazy good.
I wonder if we can somehow con Milo into organizing a W1S1 anthology. That way, no matter which stories get it, it'll be 100% from W1S1 folks!

I do have a middling it, being out forever at Analog. But have a weird one for you.
Sent to a mag that accepts postals. Got a letter in the mail that they received it and, oh yeah, buy a subscription. They had a SASE in there and proudly said it was recycled from a SASE that came with a submission that was accepted.
See, the problem is, I can still see that person's name and address through their label. So they're sending submitters the names and addy's of accepted people. A little unnerving.

I was just passed on to round 2 for the Politics issue of Penumbra in July. Now the wait begins! I'm excited; if this story sells it'll be my first sale.
Thanks! The wait's going to kill me, but at least it'll serve as motivation to keep pumping out new stuff so I can keep submitting.
And I just heard that my story got passed on to the second round of the "Greek/Roman Myths" issue for Penumbra.
Glad to get a piece of good news, even of the "Middling It" variety. It's been a while.

Looks like Penumbra is sending out a bunch of responses today. I just got passed on to the second round of the Greek/Roman Mythology call too which was one of my W1/S1 January stories.
Also, I just noticed that they've updated their calls for submission page with a bunch of new themes and deadlines.
Congrats all, and good luck too!

Woot! Great news, but prepare to wait a few months at this point.
Yeah, I had a two month wait for the Sports issue and from what I'd seen from others' comments I had the sense the wait had increased.
I'm also apparently in the "we're still thinking about it" queue at Nine.
I'm through to the second round at ASIM. Fingers crossed; this is, IMO, my best story, and it keeps getting close but falling at the last hurdle.
