Lone Star Stories...

...has closed. Man, I hate to see this market go. It published some of the best fiction by emerging talent in spec fic. It had one of the fastest turn around times in publishing, with acceptances and rejections happening within a day. Eric once sent me a rejection five minutes after I submitted the story. I'm sad that I never managed to crack this market, and triple sad to see it close.

Me, too. I tried but I never made it in. Sad to see it go.

I probably have twenty + rejections from Lone Star Stories.

First Speculon, then The Fortean Bureau, and now Lone Star Stories. Markets I miss and once hoped to crack into.

Yeah to all three. I never managed to make it into any of them.

Huh. I was trying to crack that market. Guess I'll never get a chance, now. :(

I tried and I tried and I tried. I wonder if Eric closed it so that I wouldn't try anymore. Gutted.
