I just barely met their "not previously professionally published" criteria -- I've sold stories that didn't appear in print, and I've been in print but I've never been paid for it. So there you are. Thanks!

Two of you guys on the shortlist have stories in the first issue of Lost Luggage. I'm just so thrilled that y'all are getting some respect. You are a really amazing writer and so is Cryptile and I couldn't be happier for you.
