Depending on how emails get time-stamped, I either made it by seconds, or missed it by seconds.
...
Think positive—you never know. Best of luck. We'll all know one way or the other pretty soon.

Same. I try to do Weal & Woes, every now and then, and even my *shortest* attempt uses up all 1500 words on a single character!
Oh thank God I'm not alone

My short story could easily have been 3,000 to 4,500 words.

I just now decided that I wanted to see what an Osirioni (Garundi) priest of Pharasma looked like, art wise.
I think I'd like Pharasma 100% more if her clerics were all faux-Egyptian!

They've also got Apis, Apophis, Horus, Sobek, and Bastet.Set |

Ooh, the Grecian-style Temistokles heads are super cool.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Tim and I are busily going through the Wayfinder #12 submissions (all 80 of them) and taking notes for the selection process. Tim's slammed with work for the next several days, but we're trying hard to make the selections and get the first round of editing assignments out next week.
I can tell you, now, that I'm pleased to see so many of you rose to the challenge of differentiating between Osirion and the regions of Qadira and Katapesh. You really grasped the Egyptian-themed flavor from both the pulp fiction and historical aspects. I look forward to developing this issue for everyone to see.

Just checking - does this mean everyone who was selected has been informed?

I submitted 2 articles for this issue, and see that at least one was accepted.
If my bestiary entry was accepted, and you're the editor who has it, please contact me. There's a single stat that I'd like to edit/fix.

Oh, I have just one idea for this one. I'm trying to cut back.
I've had it since the announcement of the theme, 'tho, so it's been percolating in my brain for quite some time. I'll probably have to savagely prune the many, many ideas I have along the specific theme of the article...

Ack! I'm sorry, Anthony. That was fat-fingered typing on my part. I'll make sure that errant "s" doesn't hang around.
That's quite alright, think nothing of it, I am quite used to it.
Unfortunately for me, it's a common mistake ever since the Morticia and Gomez TV invasion of the 60s/70s. I have even had people add the extra "d" as well. (Anyone who understands that reference is probably as old as I am :P)

Thanks for understanding, Anthony.
My own problem tends to be one of pronunciation and gender. Apparently, I don't speak clearly enough, and modern media has convinced everyone that only women are named "Paris."
On the occasions I go to Starbucks, I usually get my cup back labeled, "Harris."
