Preface
Re the usage of “new” and “reprints” in these 2022 stats: New works are those that were published here in MacQueen’s Quinterly for the first time anywhere. Reprints are those which were previously published elsewhere, whether online, in print, or as spoken-word readings (such as those that appear on Rattlecasts, social media, YouTube, etc.).
Prior to 19 March 2023, MacQ considered most works that appeared online to be previously published, whether they appeared at author and artist websites, on public-access sites such as Fictionaut, and/or on social-media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, since they may have been read, viewed, and shared by hundreds or even thousands of folks.
Which also meant that, when republished in MacQ or elsewhere, they would not be eligible for nomination for certain annual anthology awards, such as Best Microfiction, The Best Small Fictions, and the Red Moon Anthologies, among others.
