Maybe it DID work...

Remember my post of Monday? ("Oi, Editors!   Buy more of my stories!")

email this morning from Cat Rambo at Fantasy Magazine; hold notice on "In This City" as she wants Sean to take a look at it.


Fingers crossed in a very crossy way with much crossyness for this one.   One, I like the story (contains some of my most beautiful... language... evarr...), and two, it's a very very good market to be in.

Good luck there!

Is this a series story?

does Fantasy still have a 5k cut-off?

best,
Howard

6k is the limit, I think. This is a 2k piece, not a series, and not what most people would consider my "normal" work - much heavier on language and mood, much less on plot.

It has received the best single compliment any critiquer has yet given to my fiction - that it was reminiscent of Italo Calvino. Given that I was pretty much going for an Italo Calvino (specifically, Invisible Cities) vibe, I glowed when I read that.

But it's what editors think that really counts...

I liked that story. Good luck. Maybe a little preparatory wOOt. Just getting warmed up. :)

Hmmm, I think I just saw on a certain blog (OCB)that I am certainly not a jinx. You've got a nice email awaiting you. :)

So I do. :)

I rescind my objection! But forgive me - OCB? Not familiar with this...

Ah.

My google-fu eventually tracked it down. I don't know, these people with incomprehensible lj ids so you don't know who they really are... :)
