Submission Contest

Ok G.C , Ionafey and Mercedes, are you ready?
Here are the rules:-
1. First rule of the submission contest is that you never talk about the submission contest... hang on, I think I'm getting confused (sorry, couldn't resist!).
2. Ok, all submissions must be new works.
3. Submissions can be any length and any subject matter.
4. Submissions are to be sent to markets listed on duotrope or ralan etc.
and the prize
BRAGGING RIGHTS ON YOUR BLOG!!!
You can really rub the losers faces in it. :)
All right, competitors. Are you ready? On your marks.
Ready
Steady
GO
*Bang*

Submission Contest

My submission contest with ionafey is over and I won! It was a close run race with ionafey taking a quick lead. However my tortoise like speed helped me to catch up with her and we ended up in a photo finish, with me winning by a nose. I hereby choose to exercise my bragging rights:
I AM THE WINNER!!!!!
Yay. Go me. :)
I have some more good news. One of my November stories has been accepted by Six Sentences and will be published there on Saturday 13th. I'll put up the link when it is available. In the meantime, you should head over to Six Sentences and have a mooch around. The folks there are nice and the stories are interesting. You might even join in.

And the winner is...

MERCEDES!!!

Congratulations to Mercedes on winning our submission contest. She also completed NaNoWriMo and got a story sold. Is there no end to this woman's talents!!!

The markets I submitted to were:-

1. The Drabbler

2. The Aeon Award

3. Murky Depths

4. Six Sentences

5. Cool Stuff 4 Writers

6. Flash Fiction Online

7. Alienskin Magazine

8. Dogs Wet & Dry Anthology

9. Flash Me Magazine

10. Assassins Creed

I will let you know how these stories get on, but probably only if they get accepted!

Despite help from Mercedes, I only managed 20 submissions in November. What with two submissions still out there from earlier in the year and one rejection in November, I have 21 submissions out at the moment. My goal for this month is to bring it up to 30.

I've started a new submission contest with ionafey. First to five subs gets bragging rights. The way she is going I think I am going to be eating her dust! I'm a glutton for punishment.
