Those chapters of mine are now posted.
I've not forgotten about this assignment; I'm pursuing a wide variety of stories right now, two or three of which could potentially turn into a submission for those publications. I'm not sure if my stories are perfect fits in terms of content and pacing, but I'll still try to complete them.
A few questions, though. If I do submit a story, I'd do it under another pseudonym. Any ideas how pen-names work, legally (copyrights) and in terms of payment (who are the checks made out to?).
