KramFoot Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Ooooo it's that time of year again! So applying to this. Just, you know, need to get a new laptop and I'm sorted! Now I'm wondering who won the last competition in 2016? Any of you fellow B&C'ers get far last time?

Sete Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I just sent a short that I had written. It's nothing special but, I feel satisfied for writing it and sending. :) Edited January 10, 2018 by Sete JH79, Felix Antipodes and Scribe 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343212-black-library-open-submission-window-2018/#findComment-4979577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Carnelian Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm so ready! But remember folks, it's easier to get published somewhere else and then get into BL.

Roomsky Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Ooh, exciting. I really appreciate the little blurbs by the authors too, I know Gav gives his advice all the time but its nice to see what the others recommend. Good luck, all.

Kelborn Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) It's been a while. Glad that they are doing it again! We want diverse narratives that fit into at least one of the following themes: Heist Detective/Police Procedural Adventure Mystery Ghost/Paranormal/Horror War Now, let's see what I can come up with. *edit* By the way, did someone spot a deadline?

Marshal Rohr Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Remember what the panel at one of he open days said ‘if you wanna get hired start by writing age of sigmar then pitch 40k’.

Fire Golem Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Might give it a go, as they only need a paragraph summary and a 500 word extract at the moment. I like the different themes, too.

Knockagh Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 That’s amazing they are allowing the entries to have such varied subjects! Very very excited that this reflects the direction BL is going in. That’s super.

JH79 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Btw how many submissions can we make? As many as you like, but they do say that they would prefer quality over quantity.

Bulwyf Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I think it is worth celebrating the return of Inferno! as well. I loved that magazine. I also miss the reasonably priced Hammer and Bolter e-magazine. One thing at a time...

bluntblade Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Does no big names extend to factions? So a lowly Black Legion warrior isn't really kosher, for example.

That Guy Matt Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I think an unknown member of a major faction would be fine, just not big name individuals. So lowly Black Legion warrior yes, Abaddon no.

Marshal Rohr Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Kelborn, honestly none of us have any advice worth sharing unless they’ve made it through before. Go with your gut and what you think you can write to the best of your ability. You will know yourself better than any of us. Anyone telling you ‘don’t do X’ or ‘don’t do y’ without having been published before is speculating.

Kelborn Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 You're absolutely right, Marshal. That previous post of mine is not to take seriously, though. ;) Seems like it went the wrong way...sorry for that. I'm curious about Inferno. Is someone familiar with this format? Is it a monthly release? Was it good / a cool addition?

Bulwyf Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 If it is like the old Inferno! which I think it will be somewhat like then it is a bi monthly publication. The old Inferno! had short stories, comic book and art. I think the new Inferno! states it will be short story only and I think also bi monthly.

Warpmiss Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'm too much of a newbie to try for this but good luck everyone!! @Bulwyf, did they really say that? Crap, I would have loved to try to send some fanart their way. It'd be the perfect excuse to encourage me to draw more often (as if the B&C community and challenges weren't already making me want to draw stuff!!).
