I've had two similar stories.<br /><br />I'm wondering if the editors are just taking an easy option.<br /><br />I hope you and Nat find a home for these stories very quickly to show them the error of their ways.<br /><br />Good luck with the new idea.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170193722932454605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736883697396119976.post-20043973984790510882009-07-21T18:07:01.369-07:002009-07-21T18:07:01.369-07:00Put down the sword man, their will be other opport...Put down the sword man, their will be other opportunities.Alan W.

Better than waiting months only to hear the same thing.<br /><br />(I had a wonderful rejection like that once, where the only reason it was a "no" was because the magazine had bought a story very similar, only longer. Still, gives me hope the story will make it elsewhere!)<br /><br />Best of luck with the new story. :)<br /><br />~MercMerchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164221022350926808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736883697396119976.post-62884360748351646002009-07-21T05:44:10.914-07:002009-07-21T05:44:10.914-07:00At least he got back to you quickly.At least he got back to you quickly.Jamie Eyberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875759697016701358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736883697396119976.post-31098900698420648422009-07-21T05:43:55.894-07:002009-07-21T05:43:55.894-07:00Well I'm a Brit so they won't even look at...Well I'm a Brit so they won't even look at mine. :(Cate Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634397106201021055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736883697396119976.post-13075869934038007552009-07-21T05:02:45.711-07:002009-07-21T05:02:45.711-07:00Ouch...timing is a fickle bitch.
