Rejection Blues

[C.W. LaSart]

Nope. Though now I'll have to figure out what those initials mean...

RF. RF? Damnit will someone just PM me please?!

[ozmosis7]

Randall Flagg?

[Craig Wallwork]

Hahaha Does no one know what a tarboosh is?

[peteOcha]

Hahaha Does no one know what a tarboosh is?

If i'm thinking of the right thing its some sort of hat, correct?

Don't know many publishers though, so RF is still a mystery to me...

[peteOcha]

Wait, wait... RF? I found a place that would fit the tarboosh deal and all, but its AF...

What is "Red Fez", Alex?

[Craig Wallwork]

It's a online journal. I had a story published there called (aptly) Red Fez and Pancakes. right at the begining of this conversation, I assumed Richard was referencing them, but i didn't want to mention their name in case it was, and because this is a public forum there was the potential people could be lurking and take offence... Richard's not confirmed or denied that was the journal he was talking about, so I figure it's okay to say this at present.

Phew.. it got very complicated for a while there.

I was just lobbing a guess in the form of a question, Jeopardy! style. Isn't the guys name Alex Tribek?

[Craig Wallwork]

Ha... I thought you thought my name was Alex! Totally didn't get the Jeopardy reference because I'm British, and because I'm considerate in manner, I didn't want to correct you by telling you my name is Craig. Hahaha.

That's too funny- I know exactly what mean because my name is actually Josh, not Jim, and I didn't want to correct you! My user name my first 2 initials (J.M.) and last name Craven. Haha- good stuff.

[Craig Wallwork]

HAHAHA! I've been calling you Jim all this time! So sorry, Josh. It's the j and the m so close together, and I see the little "tittle" and think its an i!

[jmcraven]

No worries. I've been called a lot worse than Jim

[C.W. LaSart]

Haha! We all need nametags! Hello, I'm Caren and I'm addicted to the word "that". I've been in recovery for the last year.....

What is "Red Fez", Alex?

Fezs are cool.

I have a feeling I'm going to become well acquainted with this thread (LOL)! At least the editor who supplied my latest rejection had a positive comment about my submission. He also provided a critique or two on how I could improve my story. This was certainly more feedback then I expected so it wasn't all bad.
