And... again. Rejection from Fugue.
Dear Margaret Clark,
Thank you for sending us "The Hunting Party". We appreciate the chance to read it. Unfortunately, the piece is not for us.
Thanks again. Best of luck with this.
Sincerely,
Fugue
Gotta say, I'm a little discouraged by this one. This was the theme for submissions promoted on their website:
Issue 40 - The “Play” Issue
Play as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary: I. Senses relating to movement, exercise, and activity. 1. To exercise or occupy oneself, to be engaged with some activity; to act, operate, work. Now only as passing into other senses.
Our hope for this issue is to see how writers are beautifully and smartly playing - with genre, with form, with content, with idea. We want to encourage writers to invent, create, blur, mix, mash and smash language.
We know the lyric essay, collage, micro fiction, panharmonicon and experiment pieces are not new terms, but the evolution of these terms, relevant to the evolution of our culture, has become a more readable form of writing. Readers may still need to work or wait for meaning, but the meaning and narrative are there in some way, and that is something we want to focus on.
I thought for sure "The Hunting Party" would fit the bill. I don't know where I'm going to send it to next. It's 0/5 at present.
