Ridiculously Pleased

[j_cheney]

Totally statistical, nothing more....but...

I got on to the awesome AnthologyBuilder site today to check the status of a story I'd submitted. It hasn't gone through yet, understandable since they've changed over readers, but I did find that I'd sold a few more copies of the stories I do have there, which is always lovely. Yay! I'm still hanging on to the #2 postion in "romance", which is ridiculously pleasing to me. Yay!

I then bopped over to check a friend's author listing (jess_ka) to see if she'd uploaded her story "Flowertongue" yet. (I'll be rounding up another anthology when that one goes through.) And there on the page was an extremely cool list ;o)

Customers who bought stories by this author (Jessica Reisman)
also purchased stories by the following authors:

Martha Wells
Samantha Henderson
Cat Rambo
J. Kathleen Cheney
Mary Robinette Kowal

OK, I didn't really do anything to be included on that list, but what an awesome list to find oneself on! I am ridiculously pleased by Anthology Builder yet again!

(I will point out that I don't seem to appear on any other list like this, so it might just be a fluke...Even the people whose names appear on my list don't show me on theirs, except for this one)

Very cool!

(sorry I am not on top of the submitting of stories to Anthologybuilder)

That's OK, I was just over there checking on one of mine, and thought that I would check on yours...I'm patient. ;o)

I may e-mail you on a related subject.....just thinking...

Cool deal, J.! :o)

I know. I realize it's jsut a statistical blip, but I'm linked with some good writers there, which makes me all warm and fuzzy....

Like you, I'm waiting on the outcome of a recent submission to AnthologyBuilder. And I, too, found some recent sales when I visited the site today. So, I'm happy.

I don't get to hang out with quite such awesome company as you've listed above, but I'll rest content that I currently have three stories in AB's top 100 :-)

I admit, this was a bit of a fluke ;o)

Cool!

I tried submitting Wisteria to Anthology Builder a long time ago and never heard anything and I think I did it wrong or something. I keep getting side-tracked from going back and trying again.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Try again ;o)

Coolness. :)

Wow, that's awesome. You know, you're the second person who has Samantha Henderson on her list, and I have never read Samantha. I shall have to try finding her, too!

And, yes, get to AB. You know, I meant to, right away when I arrived in Michigan, and see about my stories there, and make a book, I'd love a book with as many of my dear friends as possible! and I just never have done it. Another site, another password, another thing to figure out and deal with--I'm an old person faced with the intricacies of an ATM machine, like, I guess. Still, Have.Got.To. :D

Sam's cool ;o)

I just re-use my passwords. (I know, I shouldn't, but I have levels...)
