I submitted a story, never heard back. Guess it got tossed. I'll have to work on my short story writing.

Just a FYI, it is not unusual to not hear back from an editor until after submissions close. I have accepted a couple - and have a couple more stories that are going to be accepted, I just haven't notified the writers yet.
The hard part will be choosing the others that have come in over the past couple of weeks. I know most of the writers, either in person or via the Sandbox or the Anomaly.
Also, bare in mind most of us write and edit on side do so between work, which I'm looking for, and our lives.
Thanks!

Final tally on TTC.
Fifteen total submissions - not including mine.
One rejection. Two accepted. Two on the short list. Still have six to read. Am waiting for rewrite for my lead story by Alan Lickiss.
Real challenge - get all reading, suggested edits back to authors by the end of June - eventhough I'm also participating in Camp NaNoWriMo.

Mayhap you both can write a story for Different Dragons. Full guidelines now pasted on the Anomaly and on the WolfSinger Publications site. However, there's going to be stiff competition to get into the Dragon antho. Because of this, I will not be responding to anyone until AFTER submissions close 12/31/12.

Opening story for TTC will be Time Con by Alan Lickiss. Closing story will be mine as a lead in for Different Dragons. Yes, there's a dragon in the story.
Have two long stories which will be placed at about 1/3 & 2/3's positions, with shorter stories before and after.
Only hints I'm giving right now. More as this project progresses.

I've just accepted my next two stories for the antho.
I don't really want to announce who until the writers have had a chance to read their emails.

I got my email! The edits are a bit daunting, but such a huge improvement. I'm going to start chewing through them tomorrow. This will be hugely educational.

Kessie - that's why I warn everyone that I'm the 'worst nightmare English Teacher' editor.
