The thing is, they didn't seem to do anything between the end of May and the beginning of August.
So it all depends on how they are treating the backlog that's accumulated.
Still, where there's life, there's hope.
So, fingers crossed for all of us.
I'm new, but rejectomancy is what brought me here. I also got the Chi-zine acknowledgement 32 days ago, and have a crickets so loud I'm going deaf otherwise.
OK, I got back everything on the market today, after the hiatus... 12 submissions. Meaning I have now got 18 stories out. Or I had. First two rejections in lightning speed... both crime stories (first ones I have submitted in that genre. I like to read it, but don't really know how to write it yet)... crime markets seem to be dead fast and professional.
Not sure how I feel. Both rejections were fair enough, highlighting things I already know/think are problems with my work. It's interesting that these days I seem to be getting more personal rejections.
In some ways it shows things improving, in other ways it can make one feel blah... although you know the editors are trying to help you.
Waiting to hear from ChiZine makes me feel like Westley as captive to the Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride.
"Good night, Westley. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

Back to crickets today. Anyone know if GUD is going to pull together? The Weather's Always Fine in Paradise is at 530 days now. I'd rather not let it sit much longer.
