I've been informed that RAZAR #3 won't be published. I was really looking forward to seeing my 14 flash pieces illustrated. This is only a semi-gripe because I did get paid (and the publisher did not ask for the $ back.) Still,a little disappointed.

Just when they actually found someone (or, a third person) that met their requirements, sorry to hear it GW.

The whole market is folding, right?

Ouch. If they're unpublished, send them to EDF. We'll be glad to take a look at them (3 at a time please ;) )

But yeah, money is money, but exposure is the real thrill. Having a market fold out on you is the worst!

Yeah, I have about 5 acceptances that I can think of offhand, that I'm wondering if they'll ever get published. I should start shopping those stories around again. Sorry to hear about your misfortune, GW!

Quick, GW! Flood Jordan with Flashes ;) (ducks out of the way of thrown objects).

Do you think we could fill up his mailbox if we tried really hard?

Super suckfest! I'm betting they're more disappointed than you -- not to say that your frustration is any less valid. But it's a darn hurtful thing to get that far and fail.

Just responding here has me so nauseated I might have to go visit Chuck, the porcelain deity.

BUT. It is still one of your successes.

Since your stories won't be published by RAZAR, can you shop them elsewhere?
