I've decided on some potential new homes for One Sunday in Kentucky: Atomjack, Daikaijuzine, Hub
Magazine, Silverthought, and possibly Doorways, but I'm not sure it'd be a good fit there, so I'm still considering that one. Of those five, I'd most like to see it get into Daikaijuzine, but they're all fine venues full of good things to read, so do check them out.
