Slight updates to guidelines. Status.
We’ve made some updates to our guidelines and wanted to briefly highlight them: Explanation of logarithmic word count share for anthologies; We will accept attachments of any kind (as long as we can read them!) in future submissions periods; We will … Continue reading →
Progress, slow and steady.
Already a week overdue on finalizing responses, I am afraid it will likely be a week more yet before every story gets its proper evaluation and response. Please do rest assured that each one will be fully considered in time, … Continue reading →
Reading and reading and reading. And reading. And translating.
Apologies for the slower responses to your submissions than anticipated. There’s been enough stories that we truly enjoyed that if we could we’d fill a little (or not so little) anthology. But rest assured that we are slowly, finally, making … Continue reading →
We are now closed for submissions until 1 February 2010.

Closed for reprint submissions.
We are now closed for reprint submissions. Our capacity for reprint production work is full for 6 months, and we’ll post an update when we re-open for reprints in about three months. Original submissions are still open and welcome.
Insanity, we has it.
We would have liked to have this lined up for our “coming out party” last Friday, and it may be a tiny bit premature, but we’re in talks to provide video versions of some stories in American Sign Language, accept … Continue reading →
Two more days of reading.
Another little update on progress on the submissions inbox. There were 2 more stories which trickled in late Saturday, and a nice little stream continued Sunday and Monday. Everybody should have at least received an acknowledgement by now, so if … Continue reading →
