WordPress is great, except when it’s a pain. (Substitute almost any software out there for WordPress, and the statement remains true.)

Somehow, I’ve managed to miss the existence of this contest, even though I’ve been reading SF for decades. I occasionally saw the anthology in the stores, but I didn’t know what it was all about. I only found it how it worked through Duotrope.

I’m not exactly sure how the quarters are designated: is it the quarter you submitted, or the quarter that results were announced? I submitted my first story in the quarter ending December 31, and just submitted a second entry in the quarter that followed. Now that I’ve read your experience and Brad’s, I plan to submit more diligently (as long as I’m able!).

Thanks!

Hope this was helpful for you (are you thinking of entering the Contest?).

Your part 1 has pingbacks from parts 2 and 3; but this part has no pingback from part 3.

The horror! I have to hit the Back button to get to part 3! However will I cope?

Aside from that, thanks for the insider view!

Those things are crazy huge! That’s one definite advantage to being a local winner, much easier to get your trophies home :-)

Your photos make me wish I’d gotten my camera working.

Thanks buddy :-) the trade-off for this awesomeness was that I missed World-Con, which was a shame, but I honestly had the time of my life.
