Hi, Ruthie,

We’re moving through the submissions and sending out responses as quickly as we’re able. We’re still aiming to get in touch with everyone by Oct 31st, but we still have hundreds of submissions left to read.

I’m afraid all I can say is that you may have to wait until Oct 31st to hear from us, even if you got your submission in early!

 

[HareBrain]

Ah, the comments! Never thought to check there. Well done @Montero.

 

[AnyaKimlin]

Not Mayhem... (Check your confirmation email?)

It wasn't Mayhem - I'm keeping that one for myself I seem to have deleted the confirmation email. Oh well they did say if it wasn't finished...

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Anya, have a look at page 5 of this thread.

 

[AnyaKimlin]

Oh that's right - Cece was going to have to fight the magic because men were obsessed with Edwardian porn stars. LOL I do wonder if the synopsis read more like an erotic romance with extra kink on the side.

 

[Tirellan]

Got my rejection this morning

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Got my rejection this morning

And so it begins... Commiserations - a pint or two at the bar at Fantasycon to recover? Hope you find a home for it.

 

[Susan Boulton]

Got my rejection this morning

Sorry to hear this....

 

[Ray McCarthy]

Got my rejection

Commiserations
At least we know we will hear

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

I'm sorry, Tirellan. I expect they'll come in thick and fast now. Hugs.

 

[HareBrain]

Mine got rejected too.

I know why, though. Their reply included the word "personalized", and in my MS, I'd spelled all such words with an "s" rather than a "z". That's the reason. Yes.

 

[Boneman]

I'm out. Strangely, I got the personalized bit too!! As one door closes: I'm in with Curtis Brown 3 month writing course....

Which is pretty damn exciting! Both came today, so serendipity rules...

Just seen Kerry's post - harebrain must be fast, so that leaves me as...?

 

[Ray McCarthy]

Their reply included the word "personalized", and in my MS, I'd spelled all such words with an "s" rather than a "z"

Really?
I'd have thought that an odd rejection reason.

 

[thaddeus6th]

Ray, I suspect HareBrain is being silly.

 

[Droflet]

You think?

 

[Ray McCarthy]

HareBrain is being silly

Clue in the moniker I suppose

 

[Dan Jones]

Ray, I suspect HareBrain is being silly.

It would be a great reason for being rejected, though.

"Goddamn Brits with their S's and spelling 'color' with an "ou"! IT MAKES ME SO MAD!!!!"

 

[Ray McCarthy]

Not to mention setting fire to faggots, we could never sell that!

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

This is terrifying. If you lot are out, little chance for the rest of us.

 

[Dan Jones]

Well I'm not out.

*Grins smugly*

Then again, I was never in...
