good ways to wake up #17

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

Squeak!

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

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?

Wooo! Congrats!

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

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.

Thanks! I'm pretty chuffed, since this is one of the highest-profile sales I've made yet.

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

[identity profile] swan-tower.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not; it was out in the world long before I came to Bloomington.

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

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

Thanks! I saw that once, but lost the URL.

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>

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

[identity profile] swan-tower.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

Woot! :)

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

[identity profile] swan-tower.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed! And while I may not agree with Card's politics, that need not have any bearing on a business relationship.

[identity profile] lowellboyslash.livejournal.com 2007-02-14 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I was wondering about that.

Congratulations!
