“A Quadrillion Occupied Planets” was FINALLY rejected by Analog Magazine.
Let me put it to you this way: I sent it in so long ago that I thought they just forgot to respond to me, so I sent the story to a separate magazine who accepted and published it. All BEFORE Analog even responded.
I’ll call this one a happy ending and move on.

Grist for the story-mill.
Frustrating, but great that you were accepted elsewhere in the meantime.
