But .. NFG are quicker still ..

Oh well, scales are balanced again

Looking forward to the swelling of the ranks in October, Jenny/Halfa ... think I'll stick with Jenny

I can't count it on this thread, but I've just heard that my rom-com The Association of Bit Part Players has been accepted for the next Sexy Shorts anthology.

WTG, Sally!

Definitely

Hi Autumn,

Brilliant news, well done on your hit.

I reject for me, my sub to QWF, "too short." they want it a bit longer, and will look again.

Sally... I have started a huge list of short storey and falsh fiction outlets for GW people who want them, on the advice thingy oon my PF. People can add to it by leaving me a message. Its intendeed to have all sorts of stuff in the end, like how long they take to get back to you, etc,...

is it poss to flag it somewhere??

Why don't you ask the eds if they can put a special link to it from the homepage or 'write' page Vanessa? Another idea might be to leave a separate message in the portfolios of everyone you know. People are very nosy, and will soon follow the trail

Hiya

Thanks for doing that list Vanessa - that's brilliant. It is indexed under l in the advice a=z (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/getwriting/Index?submit=new&user=on&let=l&type=41)

However, we're having a few teething problems with the way that index works at the moment so it is a bit tricky to find at the mo. But hopefully it'll be sorted soon.

It's great to see people making use of our new features


Caite

Hi Caite! I hope you're impressed with our subbing race

Is there a home for it elsewhere yet? And if so, where might be the best place to put it?

Hi Sally

I wondered if you might want to set it up in the challenges area as a proper challenge. Once you've made a page I could move this thread over and attach it to the challenge.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/getwriting/challenge

Alternatively you could start a subbing group - that way people would have to apply to be a member of the group to take part in the challenge. The down-side of that is that it might put people off joining - but the up-side is that it would put people off wandering in just to cause trouble.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/getwriting/groups

I guess have a look at each area and decide which you think it would fit best in. My feeling is probably challenges, but it's up to you.



Caite

I think a subbing group sounds like a good idea. It will help keep the subbing race going. What does everyone else think? Challenge or group?


Sally

I like the idea of a subbing group too.

Congrats to Autumn - another story for me to look out for.

And some very quick responses from some places! I looked up your list, Vanessa and I think it will be very useful, thanks.

That looks like six subs to me Star
Sorry, for some reason I counted 2 hits. Is it one or two that people have had so far?

Sally

I've set up a 500 subs group here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/getwriting/G707

I'll move all the totals across, and then people can join when they're ready.

Sally

Excellent! Do you want me to move this thread over so it's attached to the group page instead of your portfolio?
