100%, apparently.

Welcome to the board, and good luck!

[Snell]

ahhhh... there's more space available for a story?!   I need to hit the accelerator and finish up my zombie story ...

Sorry, I should clarify. We are no longer accepting submissions, but we aren’t done accepting/rejecting the ones we have; that means those of you who haven’t heard back still have a chance.

[Bret Jordan]

I don't want to be nosy, but I am curious.

How many stories will be in The Undead 2?

Also, will we be notified when we are accepted/rejected?

The story I submitted was the first one that I have ever submitted, so even if it isn't accepted I would greatly appreciate some feedback. I know all of the editors are pretty busy so if I don't get any feedback I will certainly understand.

[Philip.Hansen]

WhoHoo. I sent in the revision of my story, Agent Red, to Permuted for possible inclusion in The Undead Vol. 2.  It was a labor of love, I loved the characters so much that it just pained me when they got into trouble.

[Permuted Press]

How many stories will be in The Undead 2?

We'll let you know how many we have when we're finished.  We go by total word count of the stories not by how many stories.

Also, will we be notified when we are accepted/rejected?

Of course.

Hey, Bret. Just throwing this out there, but if you ever need a test reader, I'd be happy to volunteer. Can't say I'm a publisher or editor, but if you're looking for some honest feedback on a story you can consider me an option. That goes for anyone who's interested, too. Imagine it; a little undead writer's group.

Thanks Matt! 

If the story doesn't make it into the anthology I will make sure and run it by you. I am about 3/4 done with another story so if you are serious about that honest feedback I might get you to take a look at it when I am done.

By the way, I pulled the old Sculpey clay out to help one of my daughters make a bat cave for a school project. I thought about your zombies while I worked on the cave. I wish I would have had half the success with my daughter's bat cave as you had with your zombies. 

[Kody Boye]

I just got a rejection, but it doesn't bother me all that much, so don't worry. Dead's Dawn was written several months ago, so I was kinda iffy about it.

Best of luck to you guys!

[Bret Jordan]

Don't feel bad Kody. I didn't make it either. There's always next time.

Also, Congratulations to everyone who did make it!

Ahem! Aren't you missing someone?

[David Charles Flynn]

Didn't make it either...
Couldn't write anything better...

So I'm hanging up the old pencil and pad

Good luck to everyone who got in
Go on and make a success of yourselves!!

[Mylefteye]

Nope. Some stories have been moved to . . . hey, Jacob? Have you told everyone yet?

Jacob, D L, fer Chrissakes, somebody tell me what's going on! First I was in, now I'm not? 

So I'm hanging up the old pencil and pad

Don't you dare, DC, or I'll catch the next bus to Coventry and kick your arse for ya!

[Mylefteye]

I've explained everything in a personal message

You have? Oh, okay.

For those of us who were accepted for Undead II but are not on the list above, will we get some notification about our stories? Is my story rejected now, or will my story appear in another anthology at a later date?
