I just sold a story to Orson Scott Card's online magazine Intergalactic Medicine Show.

Squeak!

That's fabulous! Congratulations! What story is it?

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

"Lost Soul." Don't tell anybody, but it's one of my very much older stories, from way back in college.

[ombriel.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've read that one.

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Probably not; it was out in the world long before I came to Bloomington.

Congratulations!!! They must be going through their stacks. I got an "Almost, but..." e-mail about a half-hour ago.

So what's your story about?

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear we won't be TOCmates. :-(

Oddly, this is a story I've had trouble selling before because it doesn't really have much of a fantastical component. The setting is fantasy, but the story really just has to do with music, High Art vs. low popular.

Congrats! I'm waiting on mine after a similar hold notice. I guess I'll be waiting anxiously by my inbox.

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

They just held a big reading, but I don't know if they got through quite everything.

Yay!

Send us all signed copies!

--Just kidding, Congratulations

Re: Yay!

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Signed copies of an online magazine would be a neat trick. I suppose I could make a jpeg of my signature, and let you all paste it in somewhere . . . <g>

Wooohooooooooooooooo!!!!1 Congrats!1

[kimsheard.livejournal.com]

Way cool! I have a large collection of their rejections. :-)

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

I've only just started building mine. Had you asked me, I never would have predicted this would be the story they'd buy; I figured it for a long shot.

[sapphohestia.livejournal.com]

Woot! :)

[eclectician.livejournal.com]

Nice! Good morning, from the people who brought you Ender's Game!

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Indeed! And while I may not agree with Card's politics, that need not have any bearing on a business relationship.

[lowellboyslash.livejournal.com]

I was wondering about that.

Congratulations!
