And this is why one should always check guidelines before submitting.

Not only has Pedestal raised their pay rate to eight cents a word (from five last time I looked), but they've dropped the wordcount they will accept from 5,000 to 4,200.

Fortunately, the story that got rejected today fits within that guideline, and so when they re-open for subs on the 18th, that's where it's going. I'm keeping the tab open until then to remind myself. GOD, I love Firefox.

Yeah, back on the subbing horse. Go, me? But, just in case, someone poke me on the 18th.

All the cool kids are doing it...

In lieu of a picture of my workspace (because that's just laughable, although I do love my Tony Stark CosBaby), here's a screenshot of the desktop I use while I'm writing this... thing. The MS is zoomed to 85%, so it's still halfway readable, and squooshed over to the side. And yep, that's Ben. Glaring at me with a gun in his hand a a cigarette in his mouth. Even though he doesn't smoke. I've considered having him take it up, though, on the basis that, at least while he was smoking, he'd remember to breathe. And he's a werewolf, so cancer doesn't factor into it, at least not in my 'verse (other 'verses may vary).
