RTF Glow

[j_cheney]

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.

Congrats!

I've been meaning to post a story at the Bar and give it a whirl. Having been through the process a few times now, do you recommend it?

Good luck with it. I'll have to check the bar out.

Yes. I would say that you're at the best time, since submissions are about to close. Introducing submissions are always open, though, so you can still put stuff inot the slush ;o)

Good luck with it!!

Even if Mike or Eric turn out to not be the audience for it, you know there are some well-read readers that liked it! That's always cool.

Hope one of them sells!
