There's a metric ton of stories and poems for Alicia and I to get through now. I'm not going to be able to get responses out within our usual month's time, so I'm closing submissions EXCEPT for Firebox fiction. I want to say as well, if you're wondering when your already accepted Firebox story will appear, we're just now getting to stories I accepted in December of 08 and January of 09. In other words, there could be as much as a ten week lag between acceptance and publishing. Thanks you, as ever, for your patience.
