I'm Going To Get Published Soon!!!

[TeenageRepublican]

Okay, I know I'm getting kind of annoying because I like writing horror and I keep on talking about it. But I just have to say this, I'm going to be published very soon. Wierd Tales Magazine, the magazine that launched the career of H.P. Lovecraft, says it is 75% sure that my story will be published in their magazine.
The Full Moon Nightmare is the story's name, it's about a group of teens who take a stand against a werewolf, and I guess they liked it. I will be under the pen name of Nathan Perror so, if you see my story, know that it is TeenageRepublican.
H.P. Lovecraft was a horror writer in the thirties, who was a very talented storyteller. I like him better than Edgar Allen Poe, because he didn't have a weird life like Poe. He was normal, like normal people should be. Poe had an extremely bizzare life, and you can clearly see it if you read his work.
I just thought I would tell those who don't read H.P. who he is. I'm extremely honored to be published in the same magazine as Lovecraft. Lovecraft is one of my favorite writers in the horror genre, like Reagan is favorited alot in the Right Wing. I better stop talking, I think I'm getting off track.

That is so cool! Congrats pal :thumb:

When you are in the horror business it may sometimes pay off to be little weird ;-) Like that Swiss airbrush artist, H.R. Giger. Wheter you like him or not, he sure made some terrorfying images for us to enjoy ;-)

Congrats. I got published a couple of times, but few ever read my stuff. I don't think I even have copies of it anymore. Mine wasn't fiction though. It was research.

Cool, where was it published?

Two on gun control in a sociology magazine I can't even remember right now, and one on the 'living wage' in the Omaha World Herald. That was long ago. The World Herald was the most recent, and that was in 1998.

Did you get paid for them?

No, I mean really weird, just read the new thread Lovecraft vs. Poe in the Literature forum to get what I mean.

Congrats on your milestone. I kinda know a little of how you feel. A picture I once took is now published inside a large, hard cover book. To this point, it is the high point of my photography career.

:roar: Come on Rhino; are you sure it wasn't one of those fictional stories in the Penthouse Forum???


Congrats TR; give us a sample if you get the opportunity.. :thumb:

Did you get paid for them?No. The last was supposed to be a simple letter to the editor, but they liked it so much that they published it as an op-ed. I really never expected to see it published because it was really too long and full of statistical info to be a letter to the editor. I was just blowing off steam mostly. Little did I know.....

The first two were the result of my college statistical analysis stuff. My professor submitted them to some local or regional sociology journal.

:roar: Come on Rhino; are you sure it wasn't one of those fictional stories in the Penthouse Forum???They never printed any of my submissions. :rotflmbo:

They never printed any of my submissions. :rotflmbo:

Oh, that's ashame, it reminds me of that Simpsons episode where the author of "Where the Wild Beasts Are" said that Playboy never took his artwork because it was too dirty. :rotflmbo:

Congratulations! I've had a couple of technical papers dealing with software development published back in the 1960s and I was a regular monthly columnist is 2 different conservative magazines - The Slick Willy Gazette and The Slick Willy Wire - until they both went belly-up in 1994.
