As a few of us write and submit short stories and flash fiction, I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread where we can all share when a story has been accepted for publication or longlisted/shortlisted in a competition.
In an environment where we have to deal with so many rejections I think it’s important to celebrate the “wins”.
——-
I’ll start: one of my short stories, that a couple of people gave me feedback on the old Cloud has been accepted for publication and will be in the next issue of Barren Magazine.
That’s great Elle. What’s the story? Haven’t come across Barren magazine, will look it up. Do let us know when the story is published
Thanks everybody!
@Daedalus – the story is called ‘Coming Home’ and it should be published in next month’s issue. It’s a new literary magazine https://barrenmagazine.comAnyone else? Would be great to keep this going. In that spirit, I’ve had a bit of Vampire fic accepted by Occult Detective Quarterly, which will be in a future issue, as yet uncomfirmed, and a novelette in the anthology Hell’s Empire, which is expected around November.
Okay then. I’ll join in! Lots of you already know, and have already congratulated me (thank you!) – a story wot I rote came third in this year’s Bath Short Story Award – publication in the anthology later this year, I believe.
Well done, Daeds and Elle. (And all you others who are slow in coming forward!!!)Congratulations, Elle, Daeds and Hil 🙂
Er, I have a very little success story to share – my story from the last winter comp run by Ath was long listed for a (small) competition run by a bookstore down here..nothing compared to your successes but it will be in an antho, I believe. So that makes my happy 🙂
Can I get a promise from everyone listing acceptances here that as soon as the stories are published they will post something to let us know? Thanks
Congratulations Daedalus, Hilary and KazG!!
I agree any stories that get published, just post a link on here.
I loved that story, Kaz. Well done. Please let us know when it’s out.
@daedalus is right – we should definitely jeep this going. And if forum members get sometjing published it would be great if they could return and post a link after publication.I also have a story in the forthcoming Hell’s Empire anthology. (Watch out for the demonic sheep hee hee) 🙂
I’ve had a couple of pieces accepted recently, in EllipsesZine and Across the Margin. Reflex Fiction have also published two pieces.
In a bit of a theme here, I’ve also got a story coming up in Hell’s Empire. It’s not all Denizens in there, though, I swear. At least, I’m pretty sure it isn’t.
Hi Daeds,
Yes, if you look under fiction at acrossthemargin.com and at https://www.ellipsiszine.com you should find them. A couple of super stories from @Elle also.… And now I’ve found this thread!
Firstly, many congratulations, Elle, Daeds, Hil, Kaz and Jules. I’ll look out for those links.
I think I’ve already said too many times already, but I have also come first AND second in the same local comp, Pennine Ink, with my two entries. Not stumbling upon this first, I opened a fresh link and posted the link there, but here it is again. https://pennine-ink.weebly.com/competition-results.htmlHave I got it right now?
Actually had a piece published today on Reflex Fiction if anybody wants to have a read, here’s the link:

Thank you @Daedalus — I’m glad you enjoyed it!
My short story ‘Coming Home’ was published in Barren Magazine today https://barrenmagazine.com/coming-home/
