Holy blood pressure, Batman. A fourth story passed up for further consideration this month! This time it's Shimmer doing the bumping. Add that to Apex, Nightfall, and Dark Visions and I'm a mess of nerves.
Renard, I love the roll call!

Guys, does anyone know if Apex sends acknowledgments for submissions still? I'm starting to expect a response of some kind, but when I looked back through my sent folder I realized that I hadn't received my usual "yes we got it". It's been awhile though; have they changed that?
I just made it to the second round at Waylines at 8 days. My fingers crossed on this one. They're such a cool new market and I'd love to have my work displayed there. Add that to my long standing 95-day second round bump at Midnight Echo.
Sai, were you bumped at W@ylines or Midnight Ech0? I'm second round at W@ylines. While I'd like to feel optimistic about it, I did see them advertising recently for slush readers. My guess is that there will be more bumps now if the editors aren't doing all the reading. Still, nice of them to let people know when a story has been bumped and always a good feeling to make second round. I read one of their first issue stories last night and watched one of the videos - liked both.
Cricket roll call!

Does anyone know the process for bumps over at Apex? Do they usually send an email if your story has been passed up or is it possible that some slushies might not?
