Outlast · Aug 7, 2014

Kind of new here, but I'm going through a pretty prolific period at the moment. My latest was out at Clarkesworld for 7 days. Torture! A little part of my brain was telling me they were actually mulling it over.

Alas, on I trudge.

Dani79 · Aug 7, 2014

Welcome!

And commiserations on the R.

pdichellis · Aug 8, 2014

154-day nix from Cemetery Dance October Dreams 2 (Halloween anthology). Heard they'd gotten over 150 subs (during two-week open call) for one remaining slot in the antho.

Outlast · Aug 8, 2014

Thanks

BethanyCM · Aug 9, 2014

Just got a 39 day r from N@ture. Anyone know if they use tiers/what they are? Wondering if this is what they say to all the pretty girls.

Dani79 · Aug 9, 2014

Yep, different tiers. The higher adds a line about volume of submissions and gives extra encouragement to submit again. That said, even their standard forms are polite and complimentary.

Speaking of which, 50 day (standard) Form for me.

BethanyCM · Aug 9, 2014

Got the enjoyed it but... and "I know that this will be disappointing but I would like to encourage you to continue submitting to Futures."

Thanks for clarifying, Dani.

BethanyCM · Aug 9, 2014

Too bad I have nothing else to send them at present.

Gnome · Aug 9, 2014

11 day form R from Stupefying Stories.

Nutbuckets.

Peace

Aggy B. · Aug 13, 2014

6 day from ASIM. Resubbed to Crossed Genres though I don't know it'll be a good fit for the theme (Destruction).

ACFantasy · Aug 14, 2014

87-day rejection from Belladonna Publishing's "Strange Little Girls" anthology.

pdichellis · Aug 22, 2014

Double ditched by Darkfuse: 120 days on their antho, 5 days on their Horror d'oeuvres flashzine. Identical forms.

Thanks. Darkfuse is a tough market. My flawless record of rejections from pro-paying markets remains intact.

CL_Hilbert · Aug 22, 2014

Has anyone heard from LORE lately? Duotrope isn't registering much activity.

StormChild · Aug 23, 2014

3-day form from Fantastic stories. And 96-day form from Apex.

JRTroughton · Aug 23, 2014

2 months on... from Darkfuse.

Thank you for sending us "YER STORY". We have decided to pass on publishing your submission. We appreciate the chance to read it. Unfortunately, we only have limited number of slots to publish new manuscripts, so we have to be selective in what we take on.

Thanks again. Best of luck with this.

Off we go again then..

Batspan · Aug 23, 2014

Form R, P3n&mbra Paranormal. DGW signed herself as editor. I had a few shortlistings and personals from CS. Disappointed she wasn't the editor for this issue.

WendyN · Aug 24, 2014

I don't know why it took me so long to find this thread. Anyone else noticing a strange stillness in their inboxes lately? Seems August must be a deathly slow month for short story markets - I have more orange and red on my Submission Grinder page than ever before.
