I submitted a short horror piece to a podcast, and the rejection was incredibly positive. The editor, or slush reader, really seemed to like the piece. However, he said that the story's "success as an example of a creature story makes the ending a bit predictable, and thus, anticlimatic."
I did not receive an invitation to edit and resubmit, but was strongly encouraged to submit to them in the future.
My question is: now that I've revised the ending, is it worth sending to them again, or is it likely to be rejected? They held onto it for two months, so I don't doubt that the people who read submissions are familiar. (The rejection letter said it was a very near miss, and spent a lot of time in deliberation)
Will I be wasting my/their time, or would it be prudent to send it back now that I've revised the ending, even if they didn't ask me to?
