I'm going to get another twitterfic posted, this time on Thaumatrope. They tell me it'll run on December 5, 2009. (I'm impressed that they're booked that far in advance!)
Rhetor's blog: Twitterfic on Nanoism
Fri, 05/22/2009 - 21:26 — Rhetor
The twitterzine Nanoism is going to publish (and pay me for) a 140-character (23 word) fic on May 29th. You can see it on their web site or on Twitter.
The pay is only $1.50, but that amounts to 6½¢ / word, which is more than the SFWA "pro" rate.
