Someone sent me a story over 21k words. I ... well, first of all I won't be reading it. Secondly - lads, lads. Read the submission call or at least glance at a past issue. Unless you enjoy being rejected, I guess. Each to their own 🤷

Another acceptance today. Such a privilege to read all the stories - including those I eventually decline. I enjoy them all and the quality of the writing is 🔥
