Shadowed Realms, which is a classy & stylish dark flash fiction e-zine, is doing an issue for the grrls, & they’ve invited me to take part. I am chuffed.
I went looking for something to link to on their site (to prove I wasn’t making it up) but found only this over on Shane Jiraiya Cumming’s blog:
I’ve never quite been invited to something before where the authors are actually announced before the stories are accepted. I wonder what happens if I write something really crummy. There must be some kind of industry euphemism for ‘rejected’ if you’ve already been publicly launched.
You know, like the way when a celebrity gets checked into hospital claiming to be suffering from ‘fatigue’, it actually means they tried to top themselves.
Tangentially, I wonder what they say if they’re just really, really tired.
Hey, what if it turns out ‘rehab’ is a euphemism? What the hell would _that_ be euphemistic for? …
Please, nobody answer that. Please.
