See, I like the short story game. It gives me a sense of acheivement when I actually get somewhere.
I'd love to be part of an online community again too, but I emailed LH to ask for the invite code and no one's bothered to get back to me so I guess that's it.
That's exactly what happened to me with LH. I think you have to email Mike personally to get it, but I wish he'd just be upfront about it. Plus, I had recommended the place to lots of people and none of them got in. I don't know what's going on there, but I do miss the place.
Regarding the shorts, I know what you mean about the sense of achievement. Any story of mine that did something made me feel I was getting somewhere. But all the rejections, man. It's too much hurting. :)
That seems weird, it always used to be relatively easy to get in if you wrote. Maybe they've got more strict. I miss it, but I'm not sure I want to jump through hoops for it.
I'm OK with rejections now, usually they hit me on bad days anyway. ;)
Well, I have Mike's email address if you want it. Another former LHer and I were thinking of trying to start up something similar and easier to get into. Maybe if there's enough LH refugees wandering around homeless, we'll get onto it. ;)
I had a heck of a time getting into the new LH, but it happened eventually (although I loved the old site more). You might want to speak with Dame because it think he has some moderator/administrator powers or something. If he's not already on your friend's list, just find him through my profile or through Kara's Specfic-subclub.
Thanks Rob. I don't know what to do about LH. I loved having it there in case I ever wanted to flash, but I don't know how active I'd be, so I'd hate to go hassling for a membership in case I didn't use it enough. I see Mike was deleting inactive members as well (best as I recall) so it seems like a use it or lose it place now, when I kind of just liked it have it as my Internet Fantasy Writing home to come back to and check in on all the folks. :) But thanks for the info about Dame. Sometimes the urge to flash is cruel. :) But then maybe I should be writing novels, not flashing. But they are so lovely. :)
