Just for balance. My story ‘Pee Pees’ was rejected by Phantaxis magazine, an excellent production of Canadian SF that I have reviewed on SFcrowsnest. Naturally, the best way for a magazine to succeed is by printing the best stories and rejecting all the others, especially mine. I don’t hold it against them. It really is a very good magazine. See my reviews here.
Fortunately, the acceptance from Alban Lake of my novella came in the next day so my dull drums didn’t last long. It is not always thus with rejection but you gotta be tough to be a writer. Bad reviews hurt too. ‘Oh, the pain. The pain’ to quote Dr. Zachary Smith.
