Well I do think it would be useful to try and figure out what's appropriate to markets in a more considered way than I'm currently managing (current method: market that pays well? check; read story; like story? check; submit).
So how about we do a short informal poll to see what magazine to discuss, take a couple of weeks to read the stories in that magazine, and then try and determine what they have in common, what threads tie them, what the editors particularly seem to appreciate, etc. Then choose another magazine and start again. Any other ideas, suggestions?
Is everyone that is interested submitting to genre markets?
