The cat is out of the bag. With the assistance of 
nihilistic_kid and oldcharliebrown Clarkesworld Magazine will become a reality in October.
Here are the highlights:
* two stories posted to the site each month
* signed limited chapbook containing both stories after the month is over
* at the end of a year, an unsigned anthology
* paying 10 cents a word
* one slot per month is solicited, the other via open submission (guidelines)

Let me know when it goes live, and I’ll do my best to hang from the rooftops and scream.

This is cool! Too bad I don’t have a Varis short to submit. I have one in mind, but not written yet. And writing it will have to wait until after book 3 is written. But let me know what this all goes live.
wyrmadmin
Thanks! Definitely keep us in mind if you write that story. Haven’t even seen book 2 and I’m already looking forward to 3. I’ve been enjoying reading your progress reports.

Woot! First submission! Which, I assume, make that the first rejection as well. Go me!!!

I think I just saw on Nick’s journal that he sent out his first reject for a funny goblin story.

And of course, what I mean by sheesh is: good luck! (my sheesh comes out of seeing new competition for stories crop up….)
