Got a delightful rejection from Stan stating that his staff liked my latest attempt at publication but it just isn't quite what they're looking for, so once again the axe doth fall. I think my smiley might be breaking too, Cee Dub.

Reason: adding something
Sorry Randy Have you read any of the issues? I will admit that they seem to be all over the board sometimes with what they want. I don't even submit anymore. When Stan thinks a subject is up my alley, he usually asks if I have anything for him. I love DMD, but I think this year I will be branching out and trying for the pros.
I look at The Horror Tree and Ralan and Duotrope. I try to match up what I have to what I think they are looking for and then I get these and its like I'm reading Chinese algebra and evidently didn't understand what EXACTLY they wanted ORRRR They're just being polite by saying, your story is well written and entertaining but its just not what we're looking for so... so sorry; me love you long time, G.I. try another fortune cookie.
Sorry, Randy, but keep trying. I like Shroud, Shock Totem, Shimmer, One Buck Horror, Bull Spec, Apex, ChiZine, Clarkesworld, F&SF, Weird Tales, GUD, etc.
I sent a poem to the New Yorker, but they declined. Perhaps they realized it was making fun of the types of poems they usually print... but that's ok, I've got more where that came from!
