Three

This has been a weekend dedicated to the number three. Oh, and it's not over yet - joy.

First off the three winners of the ScaryCircusAct competition were announced.

Then we have three publications - not all mine. :)

My story The Man who wasn't a Man at all is up at Flash Scribe. And it doesn't matter what browser you use this time, it is viewable in all. Phew! It is a follow up to the first story 'The Man who Climbed out of a Suitcase', but I think it stands alone with no problem.* She hopes.

Barry Napier's story Colonists is up at Flash Scribe as well. You may want to eat your breakfast before moving onto Barry's nasty little tale.

And then we have Jamie Eyberg's story Nine which is available to read at 52 Stitches. Hope you like cats. Nah, it's a horror story - I hope you don't.

Now of course, if all good things come in threes and the above two things were good, I am sure you'll agree, why were the final three things rejections from Shimmer, Arkham Tales, and Asimov's. ::Scowls:: I will kick this rejection habit by summer.

The Man who Climbed out of a Suitcase - Part One

My story The Man who Climbed out of a Suitcase is up at Flash Scribe. There seems to be a problem with the site (I've noticed this before with Flash Scribe) and if you use Internet Explorer the story may not load--at least it doesn't for me either at home or work and I use different versions of IE. It does work if you have Firefox though.

I'd love it if you have the time to read it (it's very, very short) and comment on the site. And, hopefully they will have the problem fixed shortly.

Insert Evil Laugh

Two more acceptances this morning - she says in a nonchalant tone as if it's a normal occurence.

Flash Scribe has accepted 'The Man who Climbed out of a Suitcase' and 'The Man who Wasn't a Man at all'. You can probably guess from the titles that the stories are connected to each other. I was having so much fun writing them, I could have gone on writing and writing little stories set in the same universe, but I stopped myself and waited to see if the first two stories were accepted.

Did you believe me when I said I wasn't going to write anymore shorts this month? ::Insert Evil Laugh Here:: Fools!
