I queried an editor who has had a story for 397 days.

I didn't actually intend to.

I located their confirmation e-mail yesterday just to check its date, and considered querying, but decided that their query e-mila addy wasn't likely to be the same as their automated confirmation addy, so I thought "I'll just close this and worry about it when it hits 400 days"

Except I must have hit "send" instead...

I got an e-mail from the asst editor today asking why I'd sent them a blank e-mail, so I figured I'd better go ahead and query...

Which means a rejection is soon forthcoming.

I feelz dumb.

The scenario I see is more along the lines of:

"I hate these people, always wanting to know where their story is, like I don't have anything else to do today! Well, I was sort of iffy on this one anyway...;oP"

Oh, well, I'll have to keep my fingers crossed....for yours, too!

Definitely--fingers and toes (but not eyes as that makes typing hard...)
