Thanks, guys, that's comforting
Commiserations for the recent rejections, everyone! I should be getting a new wave of Rs any day now...

Marzioli is well-respected
5-day personal second round rejection from UFO. All things considered, I'm just glad it went over as well as it did.

Very nice 13 day R from Safety Pin Review. Damn, but I really want to crack that market; most awesome idea ever.

In the meantime, anyone know other good markets for a 30-word story that's too long for twitter?

How is it possible that all of Narrative's rejections fall between 36 and 38 days?

They're probably reading approximately the same about of stories per day as are coming in, and are 36-38 days behind. This is not unusual. Almost all of IGMS round 1 rejections come in at around 32-33 days.
