Thanks, everyone. I only applied to two schools so I was a little worried. The one I heard from so far is my first choice anyway. I am still so excited and shocked.
That's great news, Gettingby!
29 day acceptance by AntipodeanSF today. It came along with some (very good) editorial suggestions, which I've just approved and sent back. I love this little story; it's micro sci fi set in New Zealand that's really about the nature of the original colonies in NZ and Australia. I'm really pleased.

Congratulations, gettingby and LolaVelo!!
I've just returned from a trip, so probably left lots of people out. Congratulations to you all! Yay! Let's keep the good news rolling in!

Congrats LolaVelo! Let us know when it's up -- I'd like to read it. The premise sounds intriguing!
Thank you everyone... and it's never happened before, but I got another acceptance today! 3 days from from Green Gecko Publishing for the GRE Dirty Words book. I would never have known about the challenge if Eliza C. hadn't invited us to try, too, so thank you so much Eliza! I did list #13.

Excellent! Congratulations. I'm glad to see others gave that a try - maybe the TOC will all be W1S1ers

That would be fun.
Congrats LolaVelo - looking forward to reading your piece!
Wow, lots of great news since the last time I came around. Congrats everyone!!!
I had a good weekend: wrote a quick short that I actually like, received an acceptance on another short that's been a bit of a hard sell, and my tale "The Needs of Hollow Men" is today's featured story on DSF. Woot!
I'm going to enjoy the benevolent side of the "when it rains, it pours" feeling while I can.

Now I've calmed down a bit, I just wanted to report that I won a little award!! My story 'Just Kids' won the writer's award for the collection it was in. It was voted for by the other writers in the anthology which makes it incredibly exciting. http://www.thefictiondesk.com/blog/...k-writers-award-for-crying-just-like-anybody/
I don't mind confiding with you guys that when I started reading the other stories in the collection I thought to myself: "Oh god, they've made a dreadful mistake, they've put me in amongst all these proper writers." So as you can imagine, to win this was a bit of a shock. Thanks once again to those on here who helped crit it!

I just got the newsletter from the Fiction Desk and saw the announcement! (I have two subs currently in their flash competition, so am on the newsletter list). I came straight to braggage to look for a post from you, and there it was. Huge congrats, Simon!! Well done.
Congrats too, Kalevin on all your news. I'll try and check out the story this evening!

Congrats, everyone! Lots of great announcements in this thread in the last few days.
I think this EVERY time anything of mine gets picked up. I bet you're (we're) not the only ones who think like this. LOL Very big congrats! I'm sure you totally deserve it and belong amongst those writers.
