Yeah, it's as if they read them at random. There's one 10-day acceptance on D. WTF?
Wow, I didn't see that one. That IS random.

I need to get drafting my February story. I have my idea down, but I need to get the actual writing done.
In other news...crickets. Crickets! I'm at 24 days with a story at Ideomancer, and I'm starting to get antsy. And then 14 days at Apex, which I wouldn't normally be antsy about other than they're showing super fast responses on Duotrope in the past couple weeks.
I'm at 25 days at Ideomancer as well. I have no idea what their system is - I see a ton of 10- day rejections and also a ton of 20-30 day ones.

Lately Apex has reminded me of the grim reaper. It doesn't matter if a story's been there for a year or a week, five days or fifty, if it's good or bad, long or short, in the end it will still meet the same fate as all it's brothers and sisters: a form rejection.
That said, good luck goldmund! I have a story that's been there for 19 days, and I'm just being pessimistic because I'm waiting for the axe to fall
Got word this morning that DSF will be publishing Insomnia (via email) on March 9th. A week later it will be on the website. Yay!
Aggy, excited
Aggy!
Well, i had the novelette all ready to go out to Strange Horizons last night (even queried to make sure i could send it 'cause it's over 9k). They opened their sub portal at midnight eastern (US), and i got there 20 minutes later to find they'd already received their max amount of subs for the day, and were closed again until midnight tonight.
Heh--i'll have to get in right on midnight, i think.
Thanks!Ack. I totally forgot that they have that submissions cap. Good luck getting in tonight.
Me too.I wish there were more places to send novelettes.

Woot! Looks like we're going to be TOC mates. My next DSF story is slated for March 12. (which is actually next up after yours, since March 10-11 is the weekend)
I finished my story for the week and it's only Thursday! Plus, I am so happy with it. I think it is my best one to date.
