You have absolutly no idea how happy this makes me. I actually cried when I
found out that this market had closed. Now it'll be back, and in very capable
hands. I can't wait to submit to the new RoF!

Yeah, all i will say is (well, actually, Tobias Buckell says it): tread carefully. The comments, especially where a rep of Damnation books gets involved, is... interesting.

I woudn't worry. I've had three books published with Eternal Press (Damnation's sister press) and haven't ever had a problem with them. Kim, as well as the staff, are very professional and nice to work with. I see great things in Realms' future.
