Thanks Michael, Project Deadlight. It's my favorite piece so I'm hoping the best for it.
And good luck right back at you Project Deadlight!

Sitting on a 66-day Camera Obscura submission, and obsessing over Duotrope...by the way, I'm new. Hey, y'all!
I was rejected at 168 days, after I had been bumped up to their "maybe pile." Kind of wished they hadn't gotten my hopes up, but bleh. Whatever.Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from Necro Publications Into the Darkness Anthology? I got bumped to the maybe pile back around 34 days. Sitting at 75 now. DT is reporting responses around 80-100 days. Are the crickets singing to anyone else? I suppose this is some writing deity's way of telling me to get back in the game and submit more than one round of work.

Maybe you'll fair better.
- The New Yorker (In the red @ 161 days. Responses in past month= 2-90 days w/ 1 oddball response @ 298 days. Please don't let me be another form R oddball).
Has anyone heard back from Camera Obscura lately? There hasn't been a Duotrope response posted in a week, and my sub's at 70 (about five days over the regular time). I'm afraid to query, because the site makes their "bug the editor" button seem very...well, scary. Also, the sub status has said "Reading" for about a month.
Eliza, I hate when that happens . That happened with me at An-log, except first they said they had it, 100 or so days later they said 'oh, no, we never actually did - our bad' So I hope you do get a response. It's that empty air that can do us in.
On their submission page, they say:I'm at 80 days with an IGMS submission, and I'm really hoping that they're considering it. I've never made it past first round rejections there. It's one of my very favorite pieces,and at just shy of 10k words I don't have many options for it.
Wait...
They do take novelettes at IGMS don't they. Don't they?! I don't think they even list word counts though...
I've had so much silence on all fronts lately that I'm turning into a crazy person...
So I'm assuming they do, they just don't pay as much.We pay 6 cents a word up to 7500 words and 5 cents a word thereafter.
