Rejectomancy

I'm a bit behind with my hugs.

So (((((((huge hugs))))))) for everyone with an R.

Better luck next time, Peeps.

After 8 months I found out one of my submissions had been lost. And then after querying about it, they said they'd respond right away.

They did.

It was a rejection.

Aww, sorry to hear that soapdish. (shame on them for getting it lost in the first place!)

And a round of hugs for all the other Rs.

Ouch, Soap. That sucks.

Oh well. Chicks dig scars.

I'll give you half a sexy point for it - so long as it isn't all pusy and red.

Nope, it's very pale now, actually. I did it opening a can of dog food about 15 years ago. Am I saying that makes me a hero? Look, it's not for me to say...but yes, that's what I'm saying.

Opening cans of dog food is dangerous business. You're lucky to be alive!

Hugs Suzanne

Aww, sorry to hear.

Here's for tomorrow:

Sorry about the R Suzanne. Good luck at the next market!

Sorry about the Rs all, especially the 'we lost it, oops, R' - that hurts.

As for scars, oh man. I say anyone who scars themselves feeding an animal gets some sexy points.

Oddly enough, the same story that got a personal rejection from Asimov's got a form from Analog.

So the old saying that a form rejection doesn't mean your story sucks is true. There's a lot of taste issues.

(((((Suzanne and Matt)))))

Better luck elsewhere.

Good luck, Aggy! DSF seems to hold round 2 stories 1-2 weeks longer than stuff that gets rejected in round 1, so you know you are being very seriously considered.

Bummer, Suzanne and Matt Good luck at the next place.

I got 4 in 4 days! Whoooh! I wonder if I'll get one tomorrow....

Yikes, kat! Hey, at least you have a story to tell now! (no pun intended?)

In other news, I received an 81-day from R from ChiZine today. Blechsters.

lol JC. There is no shortage of stories for me to tell.

Thanks. and sorry about your rejection.

Happy Writing all

Sorry about the R, Aggy. Have you tried newmyths.com? They're not pro, but still, fairly decent pay for flash piece ($15).

Got an R from Shock Totem last night. Think I'll sit on it until I can find a more favorable market.

(((((Aggy and Defcon))))))

Better luck next time!
