The "Take a Bow" Thread: a place to celebrate your sudden fiction success

[C.bronco]

I'm happier than a can of Ovaltine in a preschool class!
#76 on the Miss Snark Idol 100 word fiction contest.
Wheeee! Somebody poke me with a stick!

 

[Cath]

**takes stick and pokes C.bronco**

Better?

Congratulations!

 

[C.bronco]

Thanks, I needed that.
I've been reading the entries and they're hilarious. (By the way, Dan Lazar was my very first rejection!)

 

[Siddow]

#154, #110, #20 here.

Double HM!

 

[Cath]

And I notice that your entry 154 is in the top 15, Siddow - as well as being given an honorable mention for "doing interesting things with form."

 

[Rolling Thunder]

I submitted #54. I didn't win but I guess I did okay.

 

[Cath]

Very funny, Rllg

The link, for anyone who doesn't know it is here: Miss Snark

Luckily I didn't have a drink by my computer when I was reading those.

 

[Kate Thornton]

I submitted #92 and it came in 3rd place - I am dizzy from celebrating!

#54 - rollingthunder, what a hoot! Loved it!

 

[Merry]

Couldn't find a big stick!

Congrats everyone above!

Just placed a flash piece at a small uk publication called Delivered, that's my 7th flash publication in total (won't bore you all with the details of the others).

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Congrats to you, Pen! Keep adding to that total.

 

[Cath]

Congratulations, Pen!

Drabble Success

YAY! I sold Soft Peace He Brings to Boston Literary Magazine. THanks Cath and Jed for the kick in the pants to actually write something and submit it. Woohoo. (actually, it's a non-paying market but I'm still going to say sold. )

Now I have to write a short bio in third person. Won't that be fun? Not.

 

[AnnieColleen]

Very cool!

 

[PenDragon]

Well done Elizabeth, congrats

 

[Pthom]

Super news, nevada! Way to go!

 

[Cath]

Congratulations Nev!

 

[Bayou Bill]

Congrats, Nev. Boston Lit. Mag. is a classy name. It'll look great among your credits.

Way to go, Elizabeth. Burst seems like an interesting market with some upside possibility.

Congratulations on your great news! Thanks for letting us know.

Nev and I will both be in Boston Literary Magazine. They accepted my drabble after I changed the name to "Visiting Hours." Yeah, so they don't pay. Don't know that they're upscale. But the name sounds upscale! <g>

Duotrope says their rejection rate is just over 70 percent, if I read it right. So that's not too shabby, eh?

 

[cool_st_elizabeth]

Congrats, you two ... let us know when the stories are posted.
