Rejection #3 and Brainworms
So, I received a really nice rejection from Andromeda today. I'm just glad that I made it to round three, but I'm still a little sad it didn't get chosen. The consensus from the other places that I submitted to seems to be that stories set in Hell are very unoriginal (even though one Andromeda reader commented that my piece was "genuinely funny") and the market is saturated with Hell stories.
Still, I'll get it back out to a couple other places on my list.
In other news, I have OMG SHINY NEW STORY brainworms, which are eating at my brainmeats. The idea's changed a bit from focusing on a genocidal alien cult, to something with many different scopes. The peacekeeping translators. The humans and their desperate bid for power. The main character's gen-engineered memory and her need to find her "brothers" and "sisters" with the same problem.
Mmmm...brainworms.
