Trying too hard to be cute. Makes me wonder how hard they "try" to be good with their magazines, and if they're more concerned with being "cool" and trendy than they are with the real quality of the work they accept.

They said they would have published me except had a similar story in the works... hrm... not sure I ever believed them. :) I got one of those rejection letters once… submitted to Fantasy magazine I think.

I love that because of "time constraints" the gentleman can't comment any more. Isn't this just a photo copy of an obviously generic letter? Doesn't it take just as much time to make a copy of a short, single-page letter as a long one? But at least you didn't have to take any extra time to read a longer, dumber and headache-inducing rejection. That’s pretty hardcore!

I have to admit, the huge font and the excuse for not commenting further on your work cracked me up. I think it would make a great addition to your local telephone pole. The world of publishing is a strange place. Sorry to hear about the rejection letter. I have to admit, the huge font and the excuse for not commenting further on your work cracked me up.
