"Naked Rachel" was rejected again. :( I'm mostly peeved because they say on their site that rejected stories come with personalized comments, but I didn't get any. I got a form letter that said "We can't use it right now." Jerks! I mean, I'm okay with form letters...just don't say you're going to personalize it if you're not.
Still debating on whether I want to send it to Bards & Sages even though it's 200 words over, or maybe send it to the sci fi publication of the folks that do Shelter of Daylight. I may go with that. I just get too nervous thinking about submitting something that's not in the word count preferences. Y'know? Also, this may sound terrible but...after reading that issue of Shelter of Daylight I think even something as dorky as "Naked Rachel" stands a pretty good chance there. But thinking like that means, if it gets rejected there I'll feel like it's crap. :P Must....not...make...assumptions....
I don't know, I haven't decided. I'm still kind of up in the air myself on whether "Naked Rachel" is any good, or just a dorky thing to show my friends but not actually try to publish anywhere. I guess it doesn't hurt to send it out, but...if it's not any good I shouldn't be pummeling markets with it, really.
