flexagonMy best short story, you know, the one that's the right length and tightness and quality to publish, just got rejected again with another note that leaves me with no reason to believe it actually got read.
I know how I'm going to make my fortune. I'm going to start making a notepad of rejection notes with a blank at the top for a story name. It will also have checkboxed items such as "Theme not appropriate for this publication", "spelling and grammar not up to standard", "characterization needs work", "too short", "too long", etc. Then people could take TWENTY FUCKING SECONDS out of their lives to check a couple of boxes after reading a story, and people like me would have a reason to not just put their story on their website already.
This game gets old fast.
