Well, that was fast

It didn't take long for "Y.V. 7650.1" to get bounced from the antho I'd submitted it to, and bounced hard. Ouch. They "will not be using this story." And, but to make sure I got the point, karma decided to send me two more rejections, one from Strange Horizons and another from Interzone. Both of these latter ones were of the "good, but not good enough" variety. Which were enough to put me in a foul and evil mood. What really sucks is that one story involved in this recent round of rejections was one that a well-known and well-published author insisted was good enough to earn a Nebula nod and the Analog reader's poll. Geeze, talk about the kiss of death. Might as well put it on the cover of Sports Illustrated...
