Thank you for submitting, but unfortunately…
Brann closed the email, cursed. Rejected again! He’d do anything to show those people, show everybody, how it felt to be made nothing, over and over again –
New mail. Brann took a calming breath, opened it.
YOUR SUBMISSION IS ACCEPTED.
Yes!
But… he’d never heard of a publisher called The House Of Choronzon.
EDITS WILL BE REQUIRED.
Spam, surely. Brann moved to delete it, and at the end he saw an underlined gibberish phrase of some unnameable colour. The link opened itself.
Then the lights went out, and the second draft of Brann began.
