Well. Ask, and you shall receive, it seems!
Just as I got done whining about how I wouldn't mind an acceptance, an email came through that my story "The Salvation of the Ooze" has been awarded first place in the Conflux short-story competition. (A very early draft of the first few hundred words appeared on this blog some time ago -- July 27, 2006, to be precise, but I can't figure out right now how to link right to it, because I'm too squeally. It's there in the July 2006 archive, though.)
Squeeeeee!

When my niece read the first draft of the first couple hundred words, she...wasn't very complimentary. I feel slightly smug. (I did mention to her that I'd won the contest, and she said, "I guess that means I don't know much." I had to bite my tongue, because really she's a good kid and it would have been mean to point out the obvious. Everyone at 17 is shocked to realize they don't know much, after all.)
Good on ya, mate!!!!!!!!!
And greeting from Tucson were it’s 100 degrees.
Do come west next American visit!
Thanks, buddy!! Yes, we'll visit next time if we possibly can. (And, of course, you're always welcome back here!)
