Has anyone heard back from Parsec Ink/Triangulation regarding their 2013 "Steel Cities" anthology? I am unable to get a status from them after several attempts. Thanks!

Parsec's Triangulation is mentioned in these (old) threads:

Anthologies seem to be published through Lulu.com
This looks very much like a one-person shop. Mr. Ramey doesn't appear to have updated his blog since late March. I hope he's okay.

He's been visible over on the Write 1, Sub 1 blog and on Facebook and appears to be continuing with various projects.
If I recall correctly, he "inherited" the editorial position at Parsec when the previous editor had to take a medical leave and things have been moving but still back-logged since then.

I don't know how much it threw a wrench into the works, but Confluence, the SF/F convention where the winning story is published in the program book, was canceled this year.
(Short story of that is the Holiday Inn where the convention was to held this July contacted the convention at the end of April to tell them they sold the building to a local university for dorms and would be closing the week before the convention was to occur. Yeah.)

The previous editor was a good friend of mine. She died of multiple cancers last year. When friends (mostly Parsec people) went to help clear out her house, we discovered she was closer to a hoarder in some respects than a pack rat. Add in that she had an ancient computer system that doesn't play well with others, and it all got very tangled very quickly.
Parsec has a long history of publishing Triangulations, but it's always been sporadic at best. Especially with Ann's passing, it's been a hectic time for them.
If you're interested in submitting, it might be a good idea to contact them first and see what the status is rather than submit and wait.
Wow.
Being local I wondered what happened to it.
Is it being moved or just put on hiatus for next year? I've never attended but curious....
WTG Holiday Inn.

The con was cancelled for this year and, from what I understand, they're working on 2014's con.
IIRC, they are honoring 2013 memberships for 2014.

I found a subscription ad in a Facebook group from Parsec Ink, a branch of Parsec, and I have read a bit about their history, trying to figure if they are serious or not, because I might have a story to submit to them.
They do not seem to be scammers, however I am a newbie to submissions. I've only tried once through a friend, who at the time was acting like an agent, but my story was rejected, rightfully so: my writing was bad then. However now I am starting to receive positive feedbacks to my published work, and I thought that submitting a short story, could be a good way to make my name known (more than it is now anyway), before publishing other works as an indie.
Can anyone tell me something more about them?

Today on Twitter from @ParsecInk : Please forgive the delay in the Triangulation anthology: Dark Skies. Back on track now, after a death in the family. The last of the stories will be read & responded to in the next two weeks. It will not be ready for the Dark Skies Conference @ CMU, but released @ConfluenceSff
