Nothing yet, but I have a sub at Clarkesworld and Asimov, and the latter is under review as we speak. I can definitely expect a response in the next few hours, if not days. That was quick for Asimov, considering they have the standard R at 30 days (with only three exceptions all month) and mine's only day 15.
Will do! Although, judging by most of our habits, I'm sure we'll find out about the same time when ST's team boots back into action. Hopefully not with another resounding round of R's.You assume correctly, Marzioli. At least we both made it through the last "batch reject" session. That's the one reason for my optimism. Let's keep each other posted. Good luck!
I noticed it this morning, so now I've been obsessing about it all day. I realize they'll probably toss them out in a batch tonight or tomorrow, but every time I hit the computer I can't help refreshing the screen.This prompted me to check on the story I have with them and sure enough "Under Review." Yikes. Now I have something else to fret about.
Amen to that. Painful knowing it was being read and having to wait more than 12 hours for the official word, but thankful for a relatively quick turnaround. I'm thinking Strange Horizons for mine, assuming I can stay up late enough to take advantage of their open submission time period.Aggy, not fond of letting things sit idle

Rejections suck!
Acceptances swallow...Rejections suck!
I fear Amazon is full of self-published kindle books already with that implicit themeWe should start an anthology: The Best Stuff Nobody Wanted.
Don't say that! You're getting close, very, very close. You'll find a home for your stories one day, it just takes some time. Keep on submitting and don't give up!I'm getting lots of 'we'd like to see more of your work', from various places, but actual acceptances elude me so far. I'm giving it five years before I throw my pen away!
My sentiments exactly. Frankly, I don't like the way they do business, what with their new irrelevant form rejections, and hiding their per-word payments.Heheh, Washington Pastime.
