After 13 rejection letters, I finally got a short story published! It’s in a small, fairly new online magazine based out of New Zealand, and I only got $4.75NZ, but it still counts, dammit! And, what’s more, I happen to like my story, so that’s pretty awesome, too. w00t!
It’s called “The Godsfather” (and that’s not a typo), it’s a fantasy short-ish story (~7500 words), and you can read it in the PDF at http://www.freewebs.com/semaphoremagazine/currentissue.htm
I’m totally looking for feedback, too. Either here in the thread, or private message (if you use the email address in my profile, though, I’m almost certainly not going to read it – I never check that email address). Negative and positive, seriously. I’m new at this writing thing, and I know I’m making beginner’s mistakes, but I don’t always know which new author mistakes I’m making.
And if you really liked the story (or really thought it sucked, I suppose), you can let the publishers of Semaphore know too by going to http://www.freewebs.com/semaphoremagazine/surveyissuefour.htm
