A major, pro-paying zine has had my story for 350 days. I did receive an acknowledgment of the submission. They do send out rejections (daily, according to Duotrope's data). Weeks ago I tried the email address dedicated to status queries, but got no response.
Obviously, I would like to make this sale, but when do I give up? Once, another zine kept my story for almost two years and then offered to buy it long after I'd officially withdrawn it, which they'd simply ignored. I'd already sold it elsewhere for far less money.
Suggestions for my current conundrum, please? Thanks!
