My reading skills suck.

Note to self: pay attention to the phrase not interested in urban fantasy and stop reading so fast.

*heddesk*

What magazines (or other short story venues) still exist that cater to the urban fantasy genre? It seems they're all dropping like flies with each new day...

Also: I had a file that listed where I'd submitted stories, and which story, and I lost that file when the hard drive went south. (I lost a lot of stuff, of which this one small file is among the least of the lingering agony, but still.) I know the names of which magazines I'd submitted to, but not who got which story, and I had two or three that I'd sent out. Bloody hell, I don't even have the original emails anymore that were rejections from each, because I lost all my email at the same time. Sigh.

Oh ye mighty slush readers, maybe you can answer this: are stories tracked? It would have been at least a year, maybe a little more, since any were submitted, but I'd hate to resubmit ignorantly and/or inadvertently. Or if I do accidentally repeat myself, has it been long enough that it wouldn't be taken as an intentional, and thus rude, thing to do? GUH.

http://www.afterburnsf.com/SubmissionGuidelines.aspx Not sure what they take, but it is a short market.

"700 words or less."

I NEED TO WRITE SHORT. LOTS AND LOTS SHORTER.

I can roughly gauge -- very roughly -- in short stories, but anything under 1K words and I'm baffled. Just baffled.

You and me both. In fact, anything less than 100K seems to baffle me.

I'm a Nidiot.
