This sucks.
Did I complain about this for Distant Worlds? I don’t think so. I should have. Making the final selections for an anthology is hard. Really hard. The anthology has space for five stories and I have a shortlist of fifteen, all of which are stories I really like. No one ever promised me the job would be easy, so I suppose I shouldn’t complain, but it’s a tough process.
I probably shouldn’t whine in public, either, but it makes me feel a little better. Sorry.
Accepts and declines will start going out tonight overnight.
On a different note, revision notes for Distant Worlds are done and all of the stories have gone back to the authors. Two of them have been finished rather longer than the others and I’ve got them back already. Getting closer all the time.
