Sweet Rejection...

(1/3) > >>

Paynesgrey:
So the first short I've fed into the Submission Machine has now garnered two "Near Miss" rejections.  On one hand it sucks, but on the other hand, only about 6% of Clarke's World submissions get the "Near Miss" letter.  So at least I know I'm on the right track.  What I'd truly love to know is if there was a technical issue, not quite the content they were looking for, or  if there were simply too many other stories in the batch that struck chord with the editorial staff. 

Still, it's feedback of sorts, which is better than none.   ;)

Shecky:
And a step in the right direction. A big step.

Paynesgrey:
Yes.  When this world is mine, and Patrick Rothfuss and Joss Whedon are fighting in a cage-match to see who has the honor of telling my biography, I shall remember these editors and perhaps allow them a grape at the feast of my ascension to divinity.

*gets back to work on another the WiP.*

Paynesgrey:
In all seriousness, I understand how busy these folks are, and I'm glad to get anything more than a form letter.  This way at least I know I'm on the right track, if not quite what they're after.

Snowleopard:
Picked which wall you're going to paper with RS yet? ::) ::)
(Though I suspect that you are not going to keep getting RS for long
before you start getting picked)
