*waves long sword about wildly* THIS IS THE BEST OPEN DOOR EVER.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Oh wow, a rapier! Thank you so much, @Serendipity

 

[pambaddeley]

Love my long sword! And good luck to those still in.

 

[anthorn]

Heard back. Didn't get through.

 

[thaddeus6th]

Bad luck, anthorn, but getting so far in is a positive sign.

 

[SPBSPEC]

Sorry to hear that

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Commiserations, Anthorn. Great to get so far though. We should all celebrate -- and cheer from the sidelines for @vgunn!

 

[vgunn]

Still nothing back on it. Commiserations to anthorn!

From what I can tell, there is under 70 mms left. We will see.

 

[pambaddeley]

Commiserations Anthorn.

 

[Serendipity]

Sorry to hear about your R, anthorn, very very sad .... and loads of hugs flying your way....

Good luck vgunn - the honour of flying the flag for SFF Chroners falls to you!

 

[vgunn]

Thanks! Will keep you updated.

 

[vgunn]

Still no word back, though I heard there have some more rejections. Gotta be under 50 now. A year is a long time to wait for a rejection. I am glad to still be in it, but the suspense is killing me!

 

[chopper]

i waited 18 months for a rejection from A Respected House...

Well, you're allowed to check in on them by now. Just to make sure you're still in the game.

 

[Montero]

A little while back they said on their website that they would announce when they were done and if you hadn't heard from them when they posted that notice, then that is when you should write. They've also said things about please don't email us asking for updates...... So I'd wait.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Yep. Me too. Different respected house. These things are never quick.

We’ve got about 25 manuscripts left to make decisions on, which means we have contacted slightly more than 98% of everyone who submitted to us.

We are moving as fast as possible, and I absolutely appreciate how agonizing the wait has been for those of you who have not yet heard back from us. I hope to do a final update soon, letting you know that we have made our final decisions on all 1500 submissions, but we are not quite there yet.

 

[vgunn]

I know of at least two rejections since the update, so the number is closer to 20.

 

[HareBrain]

Eek! Have you got any fingernails left? Or even forearms?

Not really.

I will say I've done a lot more writing in the past month because of it. So that has been good.
