THREE Times? Really?

[domynoe]

Dear Author,

I've rejected your mss THREE times now for not reading/following the guidelines. Why don't you just get a clue and GO READ THEM, then MAKE SURE YOUR MSS FOLLOWS THEM.

Seriously, I'm ready to tell you to never submit to us again. It's a freaking waste of my time.

Highly Annoyed,

Me.

Amen.

Second paragraph in my rejection for guidelines issues:

For a better understanding of what we want in the way of formatting, or to correct other possible submission errors, please have a look at our Submission Guidelines at http://www.lilleypress.com/submissions.php. Please follow these guidelines fully as we will reject anything that fails to do so.

Now, really, what is so damn hard to understand about that? :P

(I will also admit that a rather bad afternoon ending with a nasty fall on my right side contributed to this snipe, though. No less legitimate a complaint, but I might not be so ready to tell her to stop submitting if I weren't cranky and in pain....

Nah. I'd still be ready to tell her to take a hike. :P )

Yeah we have a similar link - or used to. But people never read the guidelines. I'm convinced.

I just had some moron use the contact form on MY website to ask an Apex submissions question!!!

Oh. The guidelines? I was going to read them and then my dog ate them. So then... I uh.. Ummm... Look behind you, a blimp!
