Response to my Query

(The one I whined about mis-sending a couple of days ago)

"I've checked into it and waiting for an answer. It did go to a reader but I'm not sure what happened at that point. I'll get back to you hopefully within a week or two. Otherwise, email me again."

Not a rejection yet....399 days out

See, they didn't dismiss you out of hand. Better not to do it again, though! It's too bad email isn't more like Vista - "are you sure you want to do this?" - before you reply or send.

Yeah, I know...

399 days. Gee whiz, I *wonder* what market that is...

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm....and it sounds like they might have just misplaced it....what market might misplace things?

Well, not a rejection is good, but really, 400 days? That's an awful long time to have a story out...

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine sold a story to them at 405 days recently...so I thought I would hold on. I don't know if I'd resubmit at this point, though, 3cents or not...

Keeping my fingers crossed that it's on the agent's desk, and s/he'll take it on.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Sorry, this is a story that's been out forever....looks more like they lost it..

[alaneer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, 399 days is forever. Still, let us hope.

At least the editor is on it and seems polite?

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Yes, she is. I'm hoping that they'll locate it and say "oh, we intended to buy this"....butI'm really just glad she didn't reject it out of hand ;o)
