My poem "The Green Man Answers the Classifieds" has been accepted by inkscrawl. It was written for ashlyme. He attracts green things.

I have nothing else to report about today, but that's all right.

(Strange Horizons is still looking for volunteers.)

You are like a machine!

Well, no, you are entirely unlike a machine, but you have been incredibly prolific and landing all kinds of poems and that's very cool.

I laughed :-)

Hah. Thank you! I try to keep it up.

Congratulations! I'm glad--I love Inkscrawl

Just twenty minutes ago, I submitted that itty-bitty poem I wrote in comments in that entry of yours from back in the beginning of May, the one where you mentioned a dream a man pulling red silk from his slit unbleeding wrist. If it gets accepted, you'll be the first person I tell.

Congratulations!

Thank you! I like the magazine as well.

If it gets accepted, you'll be the first person I tell.

Fingers crossed. I like sharing tables of contents with co-muses.

no blood oranges, so have some strawberries

Thank you! I'll certainly mention when it goes up!

Some month I might want to ask you about submitting poetry for publication. In the meantime, I am wondering about offering to proofread for Strange Horizons.

I have nothing to do with the proofreading department, but it can't hurt to throw your name into the ring.

If I had the time I'd offer to be an editor, but I know my time is wildly variable right now.
I'll get the application in.

[ashlyme.livejournal.com]

Yay! And also thanks.

*He attracts green things.*

That is, seriously, one of the nicest things that's ever been said about me. *happy blush*

[sovay]

Yay! And also thanks.

Hah. You're welcome and thank you!

That is, seriously, one of the nicest things that's ever been said about me.

Well, it appears to be true . . .

Hurrah!

[sovay]

Hurrah!

Thank you!

(What in hell just happened to Livejournal's comments feature?)

[edit]

Okay, maybe it went away again. It had better stay away.

Congratulations! I'm going to have to put that 'zine on my radar.

And I love the title of the poem.

They're very good. And still reading, I imagine.

And I love the title of the poem.

Thank you.

Yes, I've been perusing them in my down time. Read some wonderful stuff, including one or two of yours. Though my favorite so far was "Sarcophagus," by N.E. Taylor: http://inkscrawl.net/issue3-april2012/taylor-sarcophagus.html

And the guidelines do say they're still taking submissions, though I'll have to think about what to send. The ones that come most obviously to mind are under submission elsewhere, or just a little too long, or too doggerelish.

Hmm...perhaps doggerelish should be spelled with a second "l," to avoid being read as "dog relish."

Is it going in Issue 4? If so, we're ToC-mates yet again.

It is! Awesome.
