• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

So, I submitted two stories to Speculative Fiction's anthology, Te Korero Ahi Ka. I don't know how those two pieces are doing, but they just contacted me to ask if they could include another piece I wrote that won their short story contest last year. Wow! They're willing to pay me for a story TWICE!
 
Excellent! Your next mission, should you choose to accept it -- sell the same story to two different journals at the same time.

Well, it might have happened with this one. It was actually out to a journal that doesn't accept simultaneous subs (which is why I didn't send it to Te Korero Ahi Ka in the first place), but I pulled it from there when these folks contacted me. Maybe with the next one...;)
