Angry Robot open door

[AnyaKimlin]

Good Luck both of you. I'm sending mine off tonight - I hope. I need to vary the way my men sit in chairs first and then it is done.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Good luck everyone, I'll keep everything crossed!

 

[Susan Boulton]

I do hope you're seriously disappointed, Susan! (At not getting a rejection!)

Lol.I know how hard Lee Harris is to impress. Still it would be nice to get a request for a full.

 

[Boneman]

And only six months to wait, to find out!

 

[Susan Boulton]

That's the problem isn't it lol.

Good luck to all that have submitted. And thanks for the good wishes.

I am hoping to turn things around this year with regards to a lot of things in my life, the writing among them.

 

[Serendipity]

Okay - I'm a little lost as who's subbed and who's not, but then I'm easily confusticated. This is my take from I can make out:

WriterJosh subbed 28th Oct.
SJAB subbed 30th Dec.
Harebrain subbed 31st Dec.
AnyaKimlin subbed 30th Dec.

Good luck everyone... let's hope it's a very happy new year for you all!

 

[Boneman]

Good luck to all those who did enter, now forget about it and go do something else, while you wait. I read there was a last minute flurry of entries (300 in a day) which almost crashed their system, is that right? Hope you all got in okay.

 

[HareBrain]

Harebrain subbed 31st Dec.

Who do you think I am, Last-minute Lionel? I subbed on the 30th too. (Probably contributing to the near-crash.)

Sorry - did say I was confusticated.... blame on this nasty 'orrible cold - attishooo (oops there's another kitchen towel ripped to shreds) - so list now reads...

WriterJosh subbed 28th Oct.
SJAB subbed 30th Dec.
Harebrain subbed 30th Dec.
AnyaKimlin subbed 30th Dec.

So HareBrain is Lionel? Nice to put a real name to the acronym!

Oh, god, no! Last-minute Lionel was just alliteration.

This new year is getting off to a bad start.


(I should add that I have nothing against the name Lionel. It's a lovely name, just not mine.)

Oh poo! That's me (insert rude word of choice here)

Sorry, got it wrong again. Will revert to your acronym. Have a Happy New Year.

By the way, the Angry Robot website is saying they hope to hold another open this year! So Boneman's right... it's time to get writing...

I must admit Lee is on the ball... he's done a quick round up of submission stats, which you can find here:

Angry Robot Books

Nice one, Lee!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

As Irecall from the last open window they are very organised and on the ball. And don't take 15 months to make a decision. So that's all a bonus!

 

[DaCosta]

524 submissions received. I was expecting more.

Wouldn't want to be the one reading through that lot though!

 

[Stephen Palmer]

Wouldn't want to be the one reading through that lot though!

Except... first lines only?

 

[Aleph]

Except... first lines only?

That's how you do it!

Then read those chosen 50 at leisure.
