Most impersonal rejection yet! - Except not really! UPDATED

[marydell]

Correction:  I was totally wrong about this; they emailed me and I missed it! D'Oh! Details in my comment below.

I decided to try subbing my one lit-fic story to Glimmer Train, and they predictably didn't accept it. They didn't exactly bother to reject it either--their deal is, you just keep logging into their submissions page and eventually they'll change the status on your submission so you know what they decided. No feedback, no nuthin'!  Except for the generic thanks/"keep writing" thing shown below.  Ah, well.  Their review time isn't awful, probably because they don't waste time faffing about with slips of paper and stamps and so forth.
