Whee! First accepted submission!

[kfabian]

My golems story just last night got accepted by Expanded Horizons! \:D/

My short story status right now is:

1 acceptance (golems!)
1 under consideration (demons!)
3 in progress (the tree in the garden of winter, skin stealing, homesickness)

Longer works:

Just hit 10 000 words on the post-magical-war murder mystery.
Considering whether to have a stab at a novella for Samhain Publishing's up and coming superhero romance anthology. (I think my favourite bit about this call is that "the romance must end happily ever after or happy for now.")

And now for the day's big decision: Work on the skin stealing story, or catch up on the archives for Passive Aggressive Notes? My life is full of hard choices.

Answer is yes! Do a Clex AU! :DDD

[kfabian]

That was my first thought! The world needs more hopelessly in love arch nemeses!

[qian]

I was reading some old skool SV fic by astolat the other day and feeling so nostalgic. Clex is so dreamy *_*

Also am remembering my disappointment over the British Superman comic. Do superheroes in modern day Britain, that would be so awesome!

[kfabian]

Wow, that takes me back! Oh, astolat, how so awesome?

British superheroes! I Wouldn't Want To Boast Man and I Suppose I'll Do Woman could queue up to tut disapprovingly at crime.

[kfabian]

Their secret weapon? Intense embarrassment at the thought of making a scene!

[qian]

They battle with the necessity to send a dish back in a restaurant! ("Is there, er, I'm so sorry to be a bother, but I'm not sure there's normally meant to be a cockroach in lobster bisque?")

[kfabian]

Sometimes they bring out the big guns: apologising to inanimate objects!

(A thought's just occurred to me about the British Superman. If he gets his power from the sun, doesn't that render him useless for about nine months of every year?)

Hi! I just read your story in Expanded Horizons and I liked it so much that I'm stalking you on Dreamwidth now :D Hope to see more work from you soon.

[kfabian]

Oh, yay, awesome! Thank you, I'm delighted you liked that story -- I'm very fond of it.

Welcome! Hopefully there will be some more work coming out soon.
