Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy.

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.

But! What I'm most excited about is a possible home for The Test. It's a brand new market. If you read Expanded Horizons'  mission statement, you'll find that two of the editorial staff's objectives are:
  • Increasing the number of gay, lesbian, bisexual and asexual people in speculative fiction
  • Increasing the number of transgender, transsexual, intersex and genderqueer⁄fluid people in speculative fiction
Now, given the subject matter of The Test, I think that it would be a fine fit. Their first issue is going to include a tale by Joe Haldeman, and I'd be more than pleased to have any of my piffling words end up near his. The submission deadline for this inaugural issue is September 15, so I'd better get cracking.

The only minor hiccup is that The Test is one of those stories that's been through six revisions and still isn't quite right, but I haven't looked at it in awhile so I'm hoping that it's percolated long enough for me to have a series of "Of course! Here's how to fix this, that, and that other thing!" moments.
