34-day personal R from Lynne Thomas at Apex a couple of days ago. It was brief but very nice, much appreciated, and now I know what I need to work on in the piece.

...but I was sooo hoping!

Maybe next time.

Marzioli · Jul 1, 2012

Thanks O', the sting is gone now that I resubbed it. Not expecting any more rejections, besides DSF and Nightmare, for weeks!

And WL, that's pretty cool! Consoling congratulations to the best kind of R Apex has to offer.

Gah, sorry about that. But at least it beats my 52-day FORM which came NOT from Lynne and misspelled my name, also from Apex this last week.

22 day rejection from One Buck Horror.

Form from IGMS. I seem to be going backwards at the moment - everything recently has been form, and I'm used to mostly personals.

I saw that earlier and hurt for you. I don't know why there was the huge difference in response times.

Thanks, Marz, by the way.

And hugs to all the OBH rejections.

21 day rejection Bete Noire.

I'm jumping on the OBH R train.

Ouch - just got a rejection for a rewrite request. They liked the rewrite too?! Go figure...

Three codas and a poem! :ROFL:

That was great. Looking further into the twitter-feed, I see he chats with a writing buddy of mine - small world.

Wow - you've really had some rough ones lately. Ouch is right.

That's a fantastic little story, Simon. You'll find a home for it.

Darkwing · Jul 3, 2012

8-day form R from F&SF.

Not really surprising on this one. On to the next market!

@ Project Deadlight: the R on the rewrite request is definitely a bummer!

Project Deadlight · Jul 3, 2012

thanks guys. at least now I get to put my novel on the list of things I'm waiting to hear back about.

Marzioli · Jul 3, 2012

2-day from Nightmare.

defcon6000 · Jul 3, 2012

34-day form R from Nil Desperandum.

30 minute rejection from UFO anthology. It is in three codas, and it came with a haiku. Worth a read!

From what WordPress is showing, you should be seeing some decent traffic directed from that post

Rejection from F&SF. Oh well. Even if it's a rejection, it's nice getting mail.
