thaumatrope ($1.20)

[kaolinfire]

Thanks! Unfortunately I can't remember when I sent out my first sub, but it got rejected 39 days ago according to my DM log and I think I sent my second one in straight away after that. So I'd allow at least a month.

Cool, I'll stop angsting then. For some reason I was thinking you'd had turnaround more like "days you can count on one hand" :heh:

Just had two accepted and one rejected (multisub per the Feb theme). First took 61 days. The other two only 25.

Editor posted a call for "March-themed submissions". NO idea, but figured I ought to pass it on. :)

Oh, that one's yours! I saw that earlier today, and it made me smile. I've only recently started checking out twitfic markets, so I'm not entirely familiar with them... I didn't realize Thaumatrope didn't credit their authors. Do you get credit elsewhere? (like on a website or forum?)

Every market does it a little differently. As far as twitter is concerned, it looks like @thaumatrope just does a weekly round-up of their authors with one #ff (#followfriday) call--but on their website, they directly attribute each piece to its author, if you step through them. (or I could be missing something, too :) ). Most put a bio either just before or just after the piece in the stream--while a few squeeze your name into the piece (so you have to leave enough room for such).

Ack. I'm really going to regret having a name as long as "hypothermya". (if I ever get published in one of those markets, that is.) 11 whole characters! What was I thinking?!

Yeah, @kaolinfire was a bit much at 10 chars. So for those markets unless the story is very short, I'm a little spaceship: @q8p ;)
