edonil he/him Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 So, is it terribly inappropriate for someone brand new to the forum to want to submit something?
Silk she/her Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 Not at all! I'll put you down for the upcoming Monday.
cjhuitt he/him Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I'd like to submit something this coming Monday as well. One of the most-voted titles in my poll below.
yankorro Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 it's been a million years since i submitted, is there a slot open for next Monday?
Silk she/her Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 Edonil, Cjhuitt, AndyK, and Yankorro so far for this upcoming Monday. There is one more slot left.
Robinski he/him Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Hi Silk, A question on submission guidelines. I have story which I thought I'd submit the first quarter of the following week (subject to permission of course!). There is an instance of someone being drugged, but it's not knowing substance abuse by that person, would you still label that 'D'?
Silk she/her Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 Hmm. Yes, I'd say still tag it. I tend to go with a "tag on the side of caution" approach.
Robinski he/him Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Hmm. Yes, I'd say still tag it. I tend to go with a "tag on the side of caution" approach. Caution it is then!
TracerTK Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I was wondering if there was any more room for submissions. I'm new to this site and am working on my first novel. I have 2 chapter written so far and it's about 5500 words.
Silk she/her Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 Yes, you're welcome to submit this Monday. I believe Robinski wants to submit this Monday as well so we're at two so far for next week.
TracerTK Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Just to clarify as I've never submitted. When you say Monday I'm assuming it's July 1st.
Silk she/her Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 Yes, July 1st. Our submission dates are the Monday of each week.
Robinski he/him Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Yes Silk, I would like to submit on Monday please. First part of four of what the SFFWA would say is a novella.
akoebel Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I'm back from vacation. Seems like there was a lot of activity in the last weeks. I'd like to submit the next chapter from Shrouds if there's still room.
Silk she/her Posted June 29, 2013 Author Posted June 29, 2013 You're number three for this week, go ahead. And welcome back!
Robinski he/him Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I'm sorry for jumping in so quickly, but I'm keen to submit the 4 parts of my Novella in 4 consecutive weeks, if that's okay? In which case I'd like to submit Part 2 of Tontine Inn on Monday 8th July.
edonil he/him Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 I'd like to chime in for next week as well. Just debating which of two things to enter...
Silk she/her Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 Edonil and Robinski so far for next week. Robinski, I'll put you down tentatively for the following two submissions as well, but if we end up having a really busy few weeks I may ask you to delay one of those submissions by a week or so so others can submit too.
edonil he/him Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Question- if something is over the arbitrary number of words (but not super significantly), and it doesn't feel right to stop it at 5k anyway, can it still be submitted? I'm looking at one thing that's sitting at around 5300 at the moment.
Silk she/her Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 No, it's more of a guideline than a firm requirement--we just want to keep people from getting overwhelmed with submissions. At 5300 words you're right in the ballpark.
Robinski he/him Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Edonil and Robinski so far for next week. Robinski, I'll put you down tentatively for the following two submissions as well, but if we end up having a really busy few weeks I may ask you to delay one of those submissions by a week or so so others can submit too. Of course, completely understand!
TheSadDragon Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Hello all, Just wanted to check if there's still room for next week? If so, put me down for a submission Good to be back! -TSD
Silk she/her Posted July 5, 2013 Author Posted July 5, 2013 Yes, there's still room. You're number three so far.
