Any man would have saved those kittens if they were in my shoes. And any man would have subsequently eaten them if they were caught in that stranding snowfall like I was. I regret nothing!Nope. It means they were going to buy the story until they Googled you at the last second and learned about what you did to those kittens back in the early 90s.

I just did a duotrope tally. I have 166 rejections since September of last year, and that doesn't count 100+ rejections for two unsold YA novels I completed.
Thanks! I've trunked a lot of stories since then, but I try to keep at least 10-15 out at a time.166! Wow, I feel like a slacker. That totally beats my Duotrope count of 49 rejections in almost two years. If I add in my query rejections from agents for my two novels, though, I may be gaining on you. (Good for you for getting your work out there that much!)

Ouch, sorry to hear it. I'm at 12 days, so it's possible I'll be getting mine in the next few days.Oops - make that an even 50 rejections. Just got one from Daily Science Fiction.

This may be the wrong forum to ask this, but does anyone know a good pro or semi pro market for a humorous spec fic (mythology themed) 1100-word sub?
