Woo-hoo! Awesomeness-ness. Posted by skadder (Member # 6757) on :
Nice story--nice sale. Well done! I don't know what a Canadian dollar is worth, but 6 cents sounds like a pro-rate. Is it?
Posted by Ethereon (Member # 9133) on :
Thanks everyone!
@skadder: CDN and USD are have been about at par for the past few years. At today's exchange rate it's exactly 6.16 cents a word US. So, yeah, pro-rate
Posted by LDWriter2 (Member # 9148) on :
Finally got to reading your story.
Niiice.
Not a bad story either but you knew that after all you were paid pro rates. 6.6 cents ain't bad even in Canadian.
Congrats

With a title like, "Aliens, eh?" I'm not surprised it got sold to a Canadian magazine.
Fun story. I enjoy tales like that one. Congrats on the publication.
Posted by Ethereon (Member # 9133) on :
Thanks guys.
@Wordcaster: It's interesting that you mention the title (which isn't the original); the present title was chosen by the publisher, taken from the dialogue in the story. It's funny that it became the title, since when I submitted to American publishers I actually removed that line.
