Aww, the history of Jilli and gaming, all in one drabble.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Jilli! That one's a sweetie.

Wondering about submitting a short story or two here.
I've got a few friends with stories already published there or accepted there - Kate Maloy, Susan Ito, Russell Rowland - and it's tempting. I'm worried about Vonnegut being their gold standard, though...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Submit, Deb. The chances are 50-50 going in, without any other considerations at all. Spare? Your writing is both spare and elegant. Go for it.

I'm actually thinking of expanding an existing drabble into a longer piece. Would that be kosher, do you think?

Why wouldn't it? It's your writing and it's original. Meets the criteria, yes?

Yes, but since I've posted the drabble that would be the core of the story both here and in my livenjournal, it might count as "prior publishing", especially since this is a web magazine.
But I didn't see anything in the submission requirements mentioning that. And anyway, while the core of the story would be the drabble, it wouldn't be on one continuous form.
Will ponder.

Hmmm, that is a good question. Since the internets are pretty much public domain, anything ever put on it could be considered priorly published. In my head, though, I think of "published" as having taken money for it. Kind of like the difference between amateur and professional in sports.

The net publishing area is extremely grey, and the courts (so far as I know) have yet to hand down definitive rulings on what constitutes "already published" in the electronic media. So, at the moment, it's very much in the lap of the individual publisher.
Definitely something to think about. Because I'd love to get a story up there.
