1/ I've submitted stories to two anthologies. First told me it would be published in 2 months, then slipped the schedule 1 month per month, for almost a year and a half. I withdrew it and self-published it in three days, and it's been earning me money every since.

6/ back to original topic of no statements despite asking: re-reading contract, they have 60 days from close of quarter. They've blown 2 deadlines. Giving them 1 week, then exercising my option: 60 day notice of withdrawl from contract.

If that is the Zombie one, I enjoyed the heck out of it. Small press problems: One of my first sales was a space elevator story to a small press. Decent rate too. They spent the entire three years of the contract w/ the anthology in limbo. Good intentions did not equal results.
