I know there's a "Where Can I Send This Story?" thread on the main forums, but I liked having the Market Research discussion board on the social group, so I'm starting a new one here.
First up, then. I have a story that's about 4k words long, about the man who manufactures dreams. He's dying and passing on his work to his heir, who doesn't know that that is what's happening until the very end. I'd say it's alternate universe light sci-fi with a smattering of weird fantasy - the dreams are clockwork constructs that inject some kind of fluid into the dreamer, and nobody dreams until their 7th birthday (I have no idea why that's important - I need to play in this world some more first).
The story has done the rounds of the pros (CW, Asimov's, F&SF etc.) and is currently at Shimmer. Assuming it gets rejected, where should I send it next?
