Submissions suspended till July 1st 2011...plus, a few words...

Hi Folks,


Due to a healthy backlog, we've suspended submissions. However, if you've just penned a story for us, then do send it over in the next couple of days for consideration.


Just a quick word on encouraging new writers, which was the main reason this site was started. There are several damn good stories below, so have a nosey and, if you like them, please leave the author some positive words. It's this kind of feedback that spurs a writer on... I should know!


There will still be a regular flow of stories during the suspension period so, as always, thanks for your support.


Crime Editor, Col.


Ps. We had some formatting issues with the story below, but it deserves it spot on the site.

Submissions suspended...

... due to overload! But the show still goes on...

Hi Folks,

The editors are overjoyed at the site's growing popularity, but this does mean a couple of changes are necessary.

Firstly, the auto-reply email you receive when submitting should now inform you that we could take up to a month before a decision is made regarding your story. So please query only after the month has expired. Obviously, once the backlog's reduced we expect to be quicker.

Also, to the right is a submissions box - simple traffic light system: green means submissions are 'go', and red speaks for itself.

Finally, we've reverted the word count from 2,500 back to 2,000. However, stories already in the pipeline will not be affected.

Postings will continue as normal, and many exciting new stories await.

Regards,
'Crime Dude' Col
