The journal Diddledog is very good about responding quickly to your stories. The timely rejections I have received have been concise and possibly terse. Anybody else have any luck with them?
Rejection from Diddledog #1:
Hello Ryan--
Can't you write a 900 word story? This one just seems so easy.
Oz
By "easy" did they mean easy to read, easy to forget or what? Isn't easy a good thing?
Rejection from Diddledog #2
Hey Ryan
Rather cartoonish, indeed. Too much of a stretch for DiddleDog, we think.
Just to describe the writing as cartoonish would be clear. Adding rather makes it stronger and indeed tops it off like a snarky icing.
Rejection from Diddledog #3
Not right for DiddleDog, Ryan.
Oz
Straight up now tell me.
