Does solving a mystery crime counts for "warm/fuzzy" feeling? I have a mystery fantasy that might fit the Cheer Up, Universe. Come to think of it, it might fit the other antho, except the protag is sixteen years old.

Send it over and let me take a look.

I sent it.

Thanks for the update! It's exciting for a first-timer like me to get an idea of what's going on behind the scenes.

You are welcome, Jessica.

Cheer Up, Universe

The clarification really does help. I too had thought Cheer Up, Universe was for humor only and I don't do humor.

Patience, patience ... I'm working on it!

Mine comes with art, and it is taking me a while to get it in to a suitable electronic format!

Ted Kosmatka is an awesome writer.

[ahmedakhan]

Indeed, he is. Ted Kosmatka is one of the best new writers of SF.

You two are making me blush. :)

Congrats, Ahmed, on on your Starship Sofa sale. I really like that place. I've got a few stories in the pipeline there myself, so maybe we'll be in the same week.

Oh, oops. That last post was from me.
