Hey, all, quick question about simultaneous-sub etiquette.
I just finished a piece written more-or-less directly for Beneath Ceaseless Skies. When reviewing their guidelines, I was pleased to discover they accept simultaneous subs, as long as it's explained in the cover letter and communication is kept open.
I thought I'd submit to another market, then submit to BCS with all the caveats in place... then it occurred to me this might be a party foul if the other market doesn't also accept simultaneous subs.
If I understand correctly, the doomsday scenario would be: A) BCS reads and wants to offer, forcing me to B) put them off until the other market responds, and then C) the other market ALSO offers and I have to pick a favorite when the other market never knew it was subbed elsewhere.
That scenario seems far-fetched indeed, but I'd rather not step on any toes. Thoughts?
Peace
Ty
