  Fuck, now I **have** to write that Roomba story.
  
  In all seriousness, at first glance this seems pretty cool, but how do this stack up against other ways of making money with short fiction?
  

  • u/TimeLoopedPowerGamer:

    Not great. Only 52 submissions accepted a year. Word length limit: 2000.
    
    On the other hand, if you have an in with the editor (like the people who will actually be accepted will) that's a few hundred dollars for maybe a couple of days hard writing and editing...that you have almost zero chance of earning by emailing that address.
    
    Hmm.
    
    So really, more of a standard open-call (slim) chance to get published than a way to make real cash monies fast.

    Just as impossible. But do it anyway. But don't quit your day job.
