34-day personal R from Lynne Thomas at Apex a couple of days ago. It was brief but very nice, much appreciated, and now I know what I need to work on in the piece.

...but I was sooo hoping!

Maybe next time.

Marzioli · 07-02-2012, 05:55 AM

Thanks O', the sting is gone now that I resubbed it. Not expecting any more rejections, besides DSF and Nightmare, for weeks!

And WL, that's pretty cool! Consoling congratulations to the best kind of R Apex has to offer.

Gah, sorry about that. But at least it beats my 52-day FORM which came NOT from Lynne and misspelled my name, also from Apex this last week.

22 day rejection from One Buck Horror.

pangalactic · 07-02-2012, 12:57 PM

Form from IGMS. I seem to be going backwards at the moment - everything recently has been form, and I'm used to mostly personals.

I saw that earlier and hurt for you. I don't know why there was the huge difference in response times.

Thanks, Marz, by the way.

And hugs to all the OBH rejections.

21 day rejection Bete Noire.

O'Dandelo · 07-03-2012, 08:08 AM

I'm jumping on the OBH R train.

lol! Now you have to give us all awesome rejections so we can post about them.

Project Deadlight · 07-03-2012, 03:23 PM

Ouch - just got a rejection for a rewrite request. They liked the rewrite too?! Go figure...

Three codas and a poem!

That was great. Looking further into the twitter-feed, I see he chats with a writing buddy of mine - small world.

Wow - you've really had some rough ones lately. Ouch is right.

Thanks Eliza - certainly feels that way.

That's a fantastic little story, Simon. You'll find a home for it.

Darkwing · 07-03-2012, 08:36 PM

8-day form R from F&SF. :P Not really surprising on this one. On to the next market!

@ Project Deadlight: the R on the rewrite request is definitely a bummer!

Project Deadlight · 07-03-2012, 09:51 PM

thanks guys. at least now I get to put my novel on the list of things I'm waiting to hear back about.

Marzioli · 07-04-2012, 12:23 AM

2-day from Nightmare.

defcon6000 · 07-04-2012, 03:45 AM

34-day form R from Nil Desperandum.

llambertlawson · 07-04-2012, 03:53 AM

30 minute rejection from UFO anthology. It is in three codas, and it came with a haiku. Worth a read!

From what WordPress is showing, you should be seeing some decent traffic directed from that post

Rejection from F&SF. Oh well. Even if it's a rejection, it's nice getting mail.
