It's not bad. It's not necessarily good. But it's good that it's not bad.
I hope that's clear.
It's good because they either haven't gotten to it yet or they're hanging on to it because it's good. You could still be at the back of the pile, or you've passed round one.

ok, good.
Hanging with you, Scip. Still no word but that's how most of my rejections go. *he says with a whiskey smile plastered across his face*

Get out of the corner and grab a cold one while we wait. Just be careful cause holding a beer with crossed fingers spells Eureka Wetvac! Good luck, GW.

Wow, four day turn around, I'm impressed!
I should have read the submission guidelines a bit more attentively, but I'm reveling in the positive feedback that I got. Now I just gotta think of another short!
Awesome!
Cheers,
Christina

These guys are fast. My first reject (for a 1500 or so word story) was 3 days. This one was 5. Please do update them in Duotrope (if you use Duotrope). They deserve that recognition, I think, for their quick responses.
No doubt. Duotrope has been my haunting reminder that I'm not putting out the work like I should.

And--another reject. Although they liked the line about what he tasted in her blood.
It was fun. And I'm glad about what they liked, as I cribbed much of the short from my vampire novel.
Much good luck, everyone! ONE OF US HAS TO MAKE IT IN!

Bummers, Lily.
And I loved that line too. I don't have another one to send, but we've got a bunch out there from the rest of the peeps. I'm with you. ONE OF US HAS TO MAKE IT IN!

Wow, these guys are fast. I sent mine on Sunday and received a rejection last night. One day response! Good luck to everyone who has not heard from them yet. And to the others who were rejected: keep writing and submitting!
Blast! Time for a steaming cup of Irish coffee (unless your part-fratboy and beer sounds god at 7am). Sorry ladies.

As of now, I haven't been rejected yet. Of course, I only submitted Sunday night, but it doesn't hurt to be hopeful.

I sent in Bill and Lil's Wild Animal Preserve (version 1). It was a spur of the moment decision. On second thought, I don't think it's the best I had, but ... if it's accepted, it was a good choice; if not, I've got others (including some longer ones, more than 500 words).
I'm with dobiwon - I sent in mine late Sunday night and haven't heard anything yet. Perhaps the Sunday night entries have been lost in a black void? What if they make us dive into that horrible black void to retrieve them? Oh no! Is it worth it for a tee shirt?
G-mail's still empty. Yea! This is fun having so many to hold hands with, huh?
And to all who got one back, mail another. Or write another. We have till the 31st.
I'll bet that guy's loving this as much as we are.

Alas, the only other short I have is the squick-fest, and I subbed that to Chiaroscuro. Both places state "no simultaneous subs." So my hopes are on the latter and I'm waiting to see one of us in that t-shirt!
I'm still hanging in the "void". Subbed mine on the first but after having my last sub to another mag several months ago get lost in the internet I'm not holding my breath. Sorry for being piss-o-mistic. I should pop a cooler and think better thoughts. Ones filled with more coolers. Good luck, Horrorhounds!
