It does feel like a bit of a blow to be awaiting a rejection, but I do completly understand that you need the anthology needs to be the best of the best of the best; so I won’t take it personally.
I really do hope the anthology does well and I will be buying a few copies just to see what the finished product looks like, and I will try to keep my ego at bay and enjoy it.

Thank-you for the opportunity to submit to your wonderful project.

From that opportunity came an inspiration to write pieces of (short) fiction and engage my writing brain in a different fashion.

I was inspired, I wrote and I submitted.

Unfortunately–I am also one of the ones who is now awaiting their rejection letter… but your project gave me inspiration and encouragement to write (and submit!) in the fiction genre and I am very grateful.

Good luck with the work ahead of putting together your anthology.
I look forward to reading it!

Thanks for the opportunity to submit, and thanks for giving us a new genre to consider. Hint fiction is a thought-provoking new form, and writing short, short pieces is really good practice. Good luck with the anthology! I look forward to reading it.

I truly never expected to be selected. I did it because I wanted to submit, not so much to be chosen. I hope that doesn’t sound like sour grapes! I mean to say that just submitting mine was a neat thing to do. I gave it my best shot – thanks so much for the rejection note. I work in the employment industry and most job candidates don’t get any notice – I realize it takes a lot of work to notify so many people and you should be commended for doing so.

At least you’re letting us know quickly – and I can use my rejects to write longer pieces! Thanks for the opportunity!

Too bad. My birthday was yesterday, so it would’ve been a nice surprise to know I was in the running but alas, it was not meant to be. Good luck with the rest of those emails! I’ll be on the lookout for my rejection

Congrats, man. The submission process is harder on the editor than most folks realize.
