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…[Read more]

It is sad. And I’m with you, Squidge. I never expected it to just disappear for good with no concrete warning. I saved everything I needed to keep I think but there was so much collective history there. I’m glad so many cloudies have managed to find the Den. At least we can all stay in touch.

I think a monthly comp is a great idea, Seagreen.…[Read more]
Daedalus started the topic Den monthly competition September 2018 in the forum Competitions, Open calls and Writing Opportunities 7 years, 10 months ago

Denizens who used to be members of the sadly defunct Word Cloud will remember the monthly competitions. The format was that the winner of each competition would set the theme and parameters for, and judge, the next month’s competition.

It was a good thing to do and prompted a lot of good writing, so we’re going to keep it. Forgive me for tak…[Read more]

Maybe a comp on the theme of ‘New Beginnings?’

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

Such a great story, Sky! I’ve only met you briefly at York (crammed in a car on the way to the railway station with John T and Debi, I think!) but you are obviously such a lovely, humble and kind person – it makes me so happy to see someone like that achieve the success they deserve 🙂 ENJOY!

Congratulations, Helen! You must be buzzing 🙂
KazG replied to the topic Short Story Publication/Competition in the forum Podium 7 years, 10 months ago

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 🙂

  ps. must get my keyboard fixed so the types.

    Appreciate the vote of thanks, Baz, but that’s giving me far too much credit. It was a team effort from a group of dedicated Cloudies. But glad you like your new writing home. Welcome to the Den 🙂

      Thanks, Jules, and I’ve just found out about the full collab. How wonderful to find such like-minded people.
Squidge replied to the topic End of an era in the forum Blogs 7 years, 10 months ago

I think we all thought it’ll be OK, it’ll carry on but just get worse to access. Not that we’d wake up to find the whole lot gone…

And yes, to see people join, and build their confidence and skills – whether that led to publishing success or not – was a real privilege and huge part of the community the cloud developed into.
Daedalus replied to the topic Short Story Publication/Competition in the forum Podium 7 years, 10 months ago

Anyone 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.
