As I think most of you know, I read every story that was in this contest, and I commented on all of them except the finalists. On some of them, I made suggestions that I thought might improve the stories. On some of them, I said essentially that I'd be happy to look at stories if they were rewritten.
Now that the contest is over, and we've bought a few additional stories, people are bound to ask if they can submit their stories to PodCastle. Keeping in mind that I've already read all the stories, I'd prefer you to
only submit a rewrite
if I asked for it, or suggested I'd be interested in seeing it after a revision/rewrite. If I did mention that I'd like to see you rewrite the story, then by all means DO IT!
Mention in the cover letter that it was in the contest, and I asked to see it reworked. We still may not buy it, but I will give it another look.
If I didn't ask for you to rewrite your story, I think you'd be better off trying to hit us up with a new story you've written (which is what I'd prefer to read that instead).
If you have any general questions, please feel free to hit me up in this thread about it. If you have questions about your specific story, you can PM me, or mention it in your story thread.
