Still no word from the agency that has my full and one R on my vampire novel.

I am not too disappointed,though.

Good luck,y'all and sorry about the R's.

Form R from Writers of the Future and Lightspeed. I just need one more R today for a hat trick

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.

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.

Although they're not open to submissions yet.

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.

mhaynes · 04-20-2012, 06:50 AM

Thanks, O'Dandelo!

It's been a 3-R day here so far. Forms from Analog (12 days), ASIM & Electric Spec (10 days each)

mhaynes · 04-20-2012, 07:07 PM

81-day form "made the final cut, but..." from Penumbra.

Sorry for the late response--I just noticed this today.

Thanks for the market suggestion; they seem like a nice place.

I'll be sending out once they're open.

*lurker steps out from behind bush*

Hi! I'm Dee. Just got a 19-day form R from Apex. What better day to introduce myself!

Shadow · 04-22-2012, 09:39 PM

Got one from Ap*x(4 days) on the 20th and one from Sh*mmer(6 days) yesterday.

Marzioli · 04-22-2012, 10:31 PM

Hi Dee, hi Shadow. Welcome to the pit.

Picked up a 2-day from ASIM. Fastest they've ever let mine down, which is nice. Better 2-day form than 21-day form.

goldmund · 04-22-2012, 10:57 PM

Hi Shadow and Dee. It's a cool place, it's nice to get rejected in good company.

WordCount · 04-22-2012, 11:52 PM

Welcome Dee, and Shadow. Welcome to Rejectomancy!

I'm a little over the average rejection time of One Buck Horror, now, and my submission with The Colored Lens has lasted longer than a day.

Other than that, crickets.

defcon6000 · 04-23-2012, 01:18 AM

Welcome fellow new rejectioneers!

After a heavy R flood at the beginning of the month, it's all dried into crickets. Don't know what I prefer.

kd1984 · 04-23-2012, 03:59 AM

Welcome Dee and Shadow!

Crickets...trying not to get my hopes up about my sub out at Apex. Mine has been out longer than many of the responses currently on duotrope, but attempting to read the tea leaves has never been very successful before, so....I'll just focus myself on writing something new!

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.

Yeah, that's what I meant by "affiliated." I should've been more clear. I just see the TTA guys as being pretty familial.

WordCount · 04-23-2012, 07:10 AM

0-day personal rejection from The Colored Lens.

Basically, they said they liked the concept of creating life, and my crazy scientist was believable, but they didn't like my overuse of dialog and lacking use of action. It didn't "engage" them.

V1c · 04-23-2012, 10:37 AM

after close to 300 days at Analog, I log in and see it's rejected. No form, no letter, nope. Just suddently 'Rejected"
