Well, I've got another chance at the RTF pile at Baen's, as they've asked me to send up my oddball story "Whatever Else..."
It's not what one usually thinks of as a 'Baen's story', being more about a woman's place in a male-dominated society. The conflict is primarily internal, and the character doesn't pick up a sword or kill anyone or make loads of money. But I understand that the editorial board is trying to broaden their scope to include more types of stories, so...maybe. ;o)
I'm really grateful for the editors in the slush for giving this one a chance (I did ask permission before sending to back to them.) Now I can just hope that this will appeal to Resnick and Flint...
This joins a story I've had waiting there for a while, hanging out until the next reading period. So it doubles my chances.
And thanks to Amber for the head's up. I'm heading outta town, so I hadn't checked the Bar.

Hope one of them sells!
