Funniest thing I've heard all day!
Anyone interested in the full yawnfest that was my rejection of my acceptance from the W'shington P'stime, you can read it on m'blog: http://thewrittenabsurd.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/strange-tale-of-rejected-acceptance.html
After reading your blog, I'm in agreement 100%. That's nuts. A fledgling market of all places shouldn't treat their writers like that. I hope your story finds a better home.Thanks Universal.
8-Day form rejection Ellery Queen. This'n stung, too. All of my stories that I didn't think that well of lasted longer there, and I thought of this as my "best story evah!". (Should I go on a Darling-murder-spree? Kill all of my darlings, I will. All of 'em.) Maybe if I suit it up a bit I can get it in with Alfred Hitchcock, but I've never done postal submissions before, and my printer's out of ink.....
Oh well, there's always more stories and more markets.
Have you heard of this new market? It looks perfect for you! And it's affiliated with Black Static/Interzone, which is a very good thing.

Which market are you referring to? If there was a link or a name, I missed it. I see Crimewave on the TTA site (publishers of Black Static) but IIRC it's not new.

Weird. Could've sworn I pasted the link. That'll teach me to double-check.

Welcome, Dee and Shadow!
Not that it matters, but I don't think they're affiliated with Interzone/Black Static, except in that the editor has had stuff published in those magazines in the past, and TTAPress gave them a shoutout.
