Word.
a good thread to have. I've been ramping up my submissions and rolling in the rejections. As a shout out, I received a sort of feedback/nice comment from Lackington's when they rejected. It wasn't much but it was like a drop of water in a boilerplate desert.

Haven't put together an organized tracking system yet and its coming back to haunt me. Sorting through emails trying to find where old drafts of a story have already been is not very motivating.

Word.
So I'm trying to shop around a humor/speculative piece, just under 2k words, but I'm noticing a lot of the mid-ranged mags are closed to submissions around now. Is there some sort of seasonal shift going on at this time?

I'm thinking like Shimmer, Liminal, Lackington's, Fireside, those kinds of mags. Anyone have recommendations for places that pay for non-space, more techy scifi/speculative stories?

Also got my first story accepted over at The Metaworker a few weeks back. But it's more blog than mag and it wasn't paying, so would many consider that officially "published"? (for the purpose of 'non-published' writers contests and similar)
