I think all the rejections have gone out. (Check your spam/junk folder!) Editors are still contacting authors regarding acceptances. (Check your spam/junk folder!)
One of our editors saved the day by reading an extra amount of slush. (Thank you, Candi!)
We had a fun discussion on the pros and cons of ambiguous-ending stories. Do you like them or dislike them? Different editors had different opinions.
Oddly, we had a bunch of ghost stories that made it to hold-for-voting. Sadly, we could only choose one ghost story. It's curious how stories for a particular issue seem to have similar themes or topics. For example, this time we had ghosts and last time we had a bunch of twins/triplets stories. We are seeing more stories of high fantasy mashed up with other stuff; I've been enjoying those. We hardly had any hard SF this time. (Weird!) We are seeing fewer stories with a political axe to grind (Thank goodness!).
Next week I'll start bragging about our new stories! And, hopefully, we'll start hearing directly from our new authors!
