Today brings great news!
Over the weekend, a piece of flash fiction (under 500 words) was accepted and published on a web-based zine! The zine is called ConUtopiaN, and is directed at Michigan fandom convention goers. This is my only piece under 400 words (which is what they’re looking for), so I decided to send it on its way, and give it a shot. You can find the piece, called “Victim”, on the front page, here:

I brought it down from my DeviantArt page (username: dcrampton) when I decided to submit it. I’ve also brought Two Vampires down from my Short Fiction page (now called Early Drafts) so that I can double-check it one more time, and then send it off to its next submission destination. Writing in longer pieces is no excuse to not submit my shorter ones. Of course, finding a paying market that will accept a 6500 word piece is challenging. It won’t stop me, though. :)
So, keep your fingers crossed, and if there are any magazines, zines, or other paying markets that you know of, feel free to send them my way.
