Acceptance 73! "Harp" to Cabinet des Fees, 49 days. No Reply/Folded/Pulled 63-66 Wholphin, Adbusters, Mad Magazine, 2000 AD. Of Interest Day 18 or so of that "seven day" cold. Don't think I've ever been sick half this long in my life. I _reeeeeealy wasn't ready for WisCon, was I? McSweeney's Internet Tendency rejection: "Inventive and fun, but for me this inspires more smiles than laughs." Grrrr. Comments on many other rejections, too. How many more ways can editors write "Loved it! Not for us!" ? Current Writers of the Future tally, out of 19 subs over the past 9 years: 8 nonplacers 9 honorable mentions/quarterfinalists 2 semifinalists. EDITED TO ADD: And why was that Heinlein rejection so quick? Because some submitter who shall remain nameless misread a 12:01AM deadline as 12:01PM. I am a great fool... Current Tally
