Got an inquiry yesterday from a writer I've published on RevSF before, checking on the status of a story submitted six months ago. Six months? Uh oh. I check, and sure enough, I find the submission buried beneath a pile of other projects. I'd set it aside as soon as it came in so I would give it special attention, you see, and promptly forgot about it. Road to Hell, good intentions, yadda yadda... It didn't help matters any that despite some interesting ideas, the story just didn't work for me. It's easier to plead for forgiveness if an acceptance accompanies said pleadings, as opposed to rejection.
