After
17 prior rejections...this showed up in the mail today:
Dear ValerieLundberg,
Congratulations! Your entry (Confessions of a Hungry Kadoatie) has been selected to appear in a future issue of the Neopian Times. A shiny trophy has been added to your user lookup. Thank you for contributing to the Neopian Times!
I can't believe it, I was just about to give up on that one. The first one had been rejected once but got in on the second time...
I'm shocked I kept on submitting this one, but it is by far my favorite I've written. I think anyone who has tried feeding Kads in the past would get a kick out of it and catch the little "secret jokes" in there.
My first short story in the NT! I've finally moved beyond non-fiction articles!!
If anyone wants a peek at it, I'd love any thoughts. It's not in the NT yet but I did put it on the bottom of Perfect_Patches petpage months ago (under all the free guild banner junk I make for folks when I have time)when I first created it to share with some other Kad feeders. Any comments or ideas from my buddies here at PPT is always welcome.
