I said earlier that I was working on submitting my stories to different literature journals and today, I got a bite.
It's the first time I'll be getting a paid publication and that's really cool. I'm so glad I found this community that helped me feel confident enough to put my work out there.
I look forward to getting more of my work out there to corrupt the youth.
Holy shit, I think this is my most upbeared post. Thanks everybody! :sicko-wholesome:
Also, it's a sci-fi story about a future where body modifications are cheap and easy. I wanted to explore how even good technology can be bad in and inherently oppressive society.
Congratulations! Would love to hear more about whatever you're comfortable sharing without doxxing yourself.
On that note: It might be useful to create an account you just use to talk about your creative work, similar to @Goadstool.
As a reminder for everyone, we have fash / terfs / wreckers that camp out and monitor the site, so while we moderate and ban them, they are are still lurking.
To end on a positive note, I'm incredibly excited for you! Here's to many more published stories!
I'll look into doing that. For clarification, if I were to just scrub my comments, would that be as safe? I think I'll make a new account soon to post my story, but I'm just curious about avoiding getting doxxed.
Thank you, comrade!
Congratulations! How long/how many attempts did it take before you got a bite?
I did about forty or so story submissions, trying to do several a day. There are cool sites now where you can shotgun applications for free. Over the span of a few months.
