I was really puzzled by this post at first, but then I saw the news in someone else's post. Man. Guess I need to find another place to sub the one I had sitting in their slush.
Here's what worries me. I've got friends whose storie were purchased already, and they're dropping the ax after the issue that's already at press. I suspect several of them won't see their stories in print....and they may be in limbo if they're already paid.
most contracts have a reversion clause. And most publications are polite enough to just release the stories. I imagine the authors will be sore from not being published but okay otherwise.
Yeah, it breaks my heart. I've been subscribing for years, and only tried one submission, but I loved that magazine, awesome stories. It seems tragic, really, to think of it as defunct.
I had one sitting there since mid-December. Sigh. I know it's selfish to say "Guess I'll never know now", but I couldn't help thinking that (especially since most of my last few submissions came back with comments).

Which begs the question, would it be a good thing or a bad thing to be one of the stories in the last RoF?
