Bereft

[melissajm]

You know how authors have dream markets, the ones you picture seeing your story in when the story gets stuck, the ones where you ged another rejection, say "well, but someday...!" and go off to write a better story for Someday?


ROF was mine.

It's so sad, isn't it? :(

[melissajm.livejournal.com]

I'm actually crying, darnit.

[buffysquirrel.livejournal.com]

Mine was SCIFICTION.

*hugs*

I'd had hopes there too. But the first thing I'd do, when I finished a first draft of a fantasy story and really liked it, was to imagine one of those great illustrations...

:sigh:

Thanks.

Honestly, Melissa, I know how much you loved that magazine and wanted to get something in there. And I know how active you were in the RoF forums and community. Really sorry for you on this one.

[melissajm.livejournal.com]

Thanks. We're hoping to save at least something of the forum community, somehow. There's too much camaraderie on there to lose.

[alaneer.livejournal.com]

So sorry. It is sad to see a magazine fold.

[melissajm.livejournal.com]

Especially this one. :wry smile: For me, it's a triple whammy as a subscriber, author + forum moderator.
Please pardon my whimpering. ;)

I'm sorry.

I, too, wanted to appear in those pages at some point.

Bummer.

[melissajm.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's a really good magazine.

[jcdrainville.livejournal.com]

Sniffle... :(

*hugs*

I feel the same way.

[melissajm.livejournal.com]

:hugs back:

[splendidissima.livejournal.com]

I know...I was shocked. I had hopes of finding my way in there someday too....and it's such a big one to lose. Sad.

[wishwords.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too.

[quiet-recluse.livejournal.com]

Mine too. :(

ROF was a great mag. Sorry to see it hit so hard.

Cheers,

I was lucky enough to get one of my dream markets before it folded. I know you really, really wanted to get in to RoF. I'm sorry :-(...
