Honestly, I wouldn't even want to look at the story I submitted to them. It was written back in what now seems like the early days of the Internet, about a character using his new-fangled computer, and would probably be terribly dated by now. And like I said, there were zero expectations, just a vague possibility way way in the background, but in a strange way it feels like an old chapter of my life is now over.

All manner of setbacks happen in publishing; try not to take things personally if you can. The competition for space in anthologies like Borderlands is fierce, so you should feel proud at the short-list acceptance even if things didn't pan out.<br /><br />Checking in on a short story acceptance with an occassional email is appropriate.Daniel Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056797282149019086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362670344247251470.post-57906530008540236882016-06-05T13:27:46.495-04:002016-06-05T13:27:46.495-04:00Can I ask when you received your acceptance letter...Can I ask when you received your acceptance letter? I'm a no-name writer who submitted to this anthology back in 2004, got a note that I was on the short list for acceptance, and then lived through twelve years of life without any other contact from this anthology. Until now, I guess, when I just learned it's actually coming out. Don't get me wrong. I never actually expected to be accepted, but I still feel kind of weird reading about its existence now, in a time-warpy sort of way. Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
