You're several steps ahead of me, that's for sure. Thanks for posting the link to Black Gate Publishing. I'll have to look into them. As soon as I finish this long short story I've been working on, I'd like to send it out and see where it gets me. Maybe I'll try them.

I'm glad you aren't taking this rejection as an ultimate failure. I have to admit that I half expected you would, as pessimistic as you can be sometimes. ;P Where are you going to send it next? Out of curiosity.
