Title: "Upgrade"
Post by: Eric James Stone on July 18, 2006, 10:44:28 PM

Well, after ten and a half months without a story sale, I came home to find a contract from Analog in my mailbox.  They're buying my story "Upgrade" for their Probability Zero feature.

Cool beans.  (what with all the good news going around the forum lately I'm running out of good congratulatory phrases).

Try "Black Power", I heard (somewhere) that it's a good one.

I must say FMP, that is a bridge that I enjoy crossing myself. Care to join me in a stroll over it?

I emailed the electronic version of "Upgrade" to Analog and asked which issue the story would be in. Turns out it will be in the December issue, so I won't have to wait as long as I thought.

Maybe they needed to fill a certain number of pages, and your story fit right in. ;)

(Congrats!)

And since my November issue arrived in the mail today, it's probably only another month before I get the December issue.
