Alas, Analog

Got Stanley Schmidt's reply back today on "Europa, Deep and Cold." This is what he has to say, in part:

EUROPA, DEEP AND COLD is nicely written, but ultimately (despite the protagonist's survival) too downbeat for our readers' tastes.

Well, hell. This is the closest I've ever come to writing an Analog story, and I suspect, the closest I ever will. Rats.

On the bright side, I now have something to send Asimov's on Monday...
