Title: it's not great, but it's not bad
Post by: Listener on December 25, 2008, 09:49:28 PM

I have this story I just finished. It's a sci-fi romance. I just did the first round of edits on it today. I also discovered that the third issue of Crossed Genres is accepting stories specifically containing both SFF and romance. I don't have a ton of time to do a ton of polishing on it, and even less time to get it read by someone other than me and a friend or two.

So... would you submit a story that you weren't 100% happy with if you found a market with a rapidly-approaching submission deadline (in this case, December 31)? I think I have a pretty decent shot at getting it accepted.

If anyone wants to give the story -- "The Next Time Around" -- a quick run-through, PM me your e-mail address and I'll googleshare it with you. By quick I mean turned around by Sunday at 9pm, to give me enough time to make more edits and proofread again.

Thanks, but I've already submitted it for consideration in a publication.
