Avatar is finished. I took out that other character and now it’s a bit less moralistic, but I think it’s a stronger story. I submitted it to Hub Magazine, a UK e-publication. I selected that one because in my notes, I said it would be a good place for Avatar. They pay good – $50/story (25 curly-L-with-the-dashes), but they take a long-ass time to respond, which I didn’t realize before I submitted. Their website lists response time as 4 months, but Ralan puts them at 250 days. Either way, that’s quite a bit of time to wait for a rejection. I might have reconsidered if I’d checked, but I didn’t…
