For what it's worth, my middling news always comes at the end of an email letting me know that I've been passed up.
Hi kd. Do you mean "passed up" as in reaching the next level ("they passed my story up the editorial ladder")?

Oh, thanks! I figured since it was a byproduct of a story sale, and not a sale itself, it didn't count for much more than an "oh, neat!" And good luck on your second round bump! I LOVE Waylines just for their visual presentation alone. They quickly went from interesting fledgling to one of my top markets.Hey, that's not middling - that's braggage! Conrats! I'll try to take a look at it this weekend.

Currently serenaded by 30 crickets. Le sigh. Anyone waiting on Scape? I know Mixer Publshing may take half the year yet, but I'll wait them out. Curious about Scape.
Anyone else here waiting on Glimmer Train New Writers? There's been some confusing reporting on Duotrope. There was an acceptance posted a week ago, 1 rejection posted two days ago, and there are 50 something still pending (including mine. I checked on the GT site, and it said my story was still "in process.") I know some of those 50 will have been from before Duotrope went $$, but still...
I've seen staggered rejections before from GT, but nothing quite like this. Any thoughts?
In my experience they do a mass reject once the three winners are announced. They release a list of the winners and the finalists, and if you're not on it then it's a rejection. I don't believe I got an e-mail from them.
Just found out I've been passed up to the final round for the Dark Visions anthology. That's three bump-ups this month and the anxiety is palpable! Hopefully one of these three will see some glory.
I need a nursing home for some of my crickets:
135 days at IGMS
85 days at TM Magazine
85 days at Drabblecast
41 days at Kasma
35 days at F&SF
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.
