A Quick Hint Update

By Robert Swartwood on September 21, 2009

I’d made mention of this on Twitter a few days back, but I realize not everyone is on Twitter, and if they are, they aren’t necessarily following me, so here’s the skinny:

The maybe pile has been weaned down even more. Out of the initial 276 stories, I have pulled out 45 “definites” and put 111 in what I’m calling the “maybe-maybe” pile.

Now it’s just a matter of picking and choosing about half of those 111 stories, which I must say is going to be very hard, as they’re all so great.

So … that’s it for now. In the next day or so I plan to have another mini-contest in celebration of a story being published in a magazine that was thought to be dead. Stay tuned.

    Okay, now I am really anxious. *laughs* You certainly know how to create suspense. I give you that.

    Man, I just can’t wait to get my hands on the Anthology itself! If one of my stories gets in, spamtastic, but I’m itching for the final thing regardless!

    Robert, is there a definite list yet on who the big name authors/contributors are? I thought Joyce Carol Oates was one, but now I’m starting to worry I made that up… :)

    It all depends on your definition of “big name authors,” but yes, JCO will have a story in the book. I hope to have a complete table of contents posted before November, once I make final selections and send out replies.

    Thanks, Robert. By “big name authors,” I meant names most people had heard of, like JCO. It blows my mind every time to think my name will be in the same table of contents as hers…
