Did anyone else hear that Phobos has discontinued their annual contest? I need something else to hopelessly send my short stories to now!

Yes, it's true that the Phobos contest has been discontinued until further notice.

I assume you're already sending to Writers of the Future.

*sigh* Yes. I liked Phobos, though, because it was a touch less well-known. WotF is so popular... only big-shots like yourself get in

Gee, that's too bad. Any explanation for the Phobos suspension?

Phobos is changing its focus to work with established writers for now. They pretty much found that it's hard for a new publisher to promote new authors. Once Phobos is a better-known publisher, the contest may return. My guess is that it will be several years before that happens, though I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
