Yesterday I dropped in and noticed the "Get published in Issue 7" thingy, and said "woa, deadline's tomorrow, I guess I missed my chance for that one." But as I continued to cruise the forum the cover picture stuck in my mind, and darned if I didn't come up with a story idea that went along with it. So I said, "what the hey, get offline and start writing, what have you got to lose?" Today I finished the story "Shell Game", cruised on back over here to check the submission guidelines, and... ... they want 1500 words, I've got 4800. Oops! I guess I'll just have to start sending it out to people who pay better than contributor's copies. :)
