Anyone else doing something for Tainted? I love the angle they took with it and am almost done editing my submission. I didn't realize how horribly depressing it was until I was done. Originally it was going to have the standard horror movie type ending, but after a long time of not being able to bring myself to finish it I changed my mind. I realized that the "eek" ending was completely inappropriate for the previous prose.

My question is, if they don't like it who should I send it to next? I'm not hip to which magazines specialize in stories set in modern times but inspired by the older style. I'd really love to sell this one  :smiley:

Pantechnicon would probably take it, as would pretty much any of the Brit outlets, I'd imagine. They all seem to love the Lovecraftian style but, sadly, they don't pay anything. I would suggest Postscripts, but I think they'd probably be too highbrow. Hell, I can barely read some of the stories in the copy I bought, let alone write one like that :grin:
