Bummer!
I just got word that the North Point e-zine has closed its doors. It never really got off the ground, I suppose. It seems to have been plagued by problems and scheduling issues from the get-go. I’m sad, though. Any fiction outlet closing is sad, and I liked the couple of stories I was actually able to read at North Point.
However, I’m especially (and selfishly) sad because now the flash piece that they accepted from me will not be published. Or, at least, not yet. I will have to find new markets to submit it, too. I’ve have stories rejected before because the market was closing its doors, but it’s a special bummer when the story was actually accepted!

Ugh, that is a huge bummer, and if it’s the story I’m thinking of (The Wall?), I really, really liked that one. Hopefully another place will snap it up soon!
Yes, it was “The Wall.”
However, I have just submitted it to another market — the one that had a call out for fantasy flash. Of course, this story is a fantasy/sci-fi mix, so we’ll see if its right for their e-zine. Eventually “The Wall” will find a home! **crosses fingers**
That happened to me with that stupid “Rage Machine” magazine… and then again with that stupid “Dead Will Dance” antho… and again with that Weird West antho… and “Amalgam” magazine… Wow! Small press be unstable!
Bastards!
LOL!
I submitted to “Dead Will Dance” last year too, and I never heard back, then their website stopped working. Lame.
