 (just the) "Analog" Entries 2007 Submission Log: Week 27-28 July 16, 2007 Submissions 400-410: Stories to Strange Horizons (11th), Shimmer (3rd), LCRW (5th), and Analog (11th). Comics to 2000 AD (6th script), The New Yorker (7th sub overall, 1st gag cartoon), and MF&SF (1st gag cartoon, 19th sub overall, 400th sub anywhere overall). Poetry to Weird Tales (5th sub overall, 1st poem) and the Journal of Impossible Things (1st-3rd subs). Rejections 280-288 From Mythic Delirium (34 days), Interzone (43 days), Analog (28 days), Asimov's (40 Days), a manga proposal for the Feminist Press at CUNY, Strange Horizons (14 days), and MF&SF (11 days from GVG, probably because gag cartoons don't go through JJA). Of Interest:
 2007 Submission Log: Weeks 22-24 June 16, 2007 Submissions 391-394: Stories to M&FSF (my 18th), Strange Horizons (9th sub overall, but 6th fiction sub), Asimov's (15th overall, 9th fiction), and Analog (10th). Rejections 266-272: Two from MF&SF (28 days from GVG, 9 days from JJA), Futurismic (32 days), Flytrap (37 days), and the last of the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest non-placers which I'll be counting here (see below). Of Interest: Of my last six subs to MF&SF, it looks like every other one got to GVG, and often not the ones I'd expect, based on my judgment of the stories and my reading of the magazine. Decided to stop counting Cartoon Caption Contest entries as submissions, because I don't want it to get to the point where I've "subbed" there more often than I have anywhere else. Might still throw jokes their way, so long as I have stuff in the New Yorker's "real" slush pile. But it's a throwaway thing, on the off chance that my name will flash across an editor's eyeline, but it was never an important part of my submission strategy. Writers of the Future has posted its 2007Q2 Finalists to its blog at just 60 days from the entry deadline. Nice because this has freed up my entry-story to send it to another market, even before I got my rejection.
