Hugs for your F&SF R, Sian! Hey, at least it means you're likely to be accepted soon!
I feel you on the patience thing, Phyllis. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you
I did slush read for SH for a year, but that was before they changed their submission portal, so I can't say how they might handle it these days.
Forgot to report my 19-day form R from DSF. I did expect it, as it's a bit more lyrical than the stuff they usually publish. Need to get better at writing flash with straightforward prose.
That's out at Shimmer at the moment, and I'm just at 6 days, so should hear back any moment. My 41-day sub at Cicada is driving me insane, but the theme only closed on 27th March, so the fact only one rejection has gone out for a sub older than mine in the last 30 days should not get my hopes up. But it is, it is, it is.
EDIT: My Shimmer R came in just as I posted this! It was a form R, which is a bit discouraging, but there we go. Not sure where this one'll go next yet - maybe Apex.
