JANUARY 2022 ISSUE - FINALLY ONLINE

6/5/2022

Hello,

As result to an accident, I can't use one of my arms, so I will be very short.

That is why it has taken me so long to put January online.

I am working on February right now, so, please, be patient.

Have fun reading this issue. It is worth your time.

Roxana
Editor in Chief

I look forward to seeing the 2022 issues online whenever you are able to publish them.

Roxana - As with the others, I hope that your arm is better. I'm having a hard time getting into the site because my attempts end up with "privacy error". I think that my sub went through, but when I try to access a publication, it doesn't work at all.

Thanks, Doug Hawley

I am trying to find out. Weebly was bought by squaew, and there are lots of problems.

Hope you are well now. Please inform me whether any tentative date is contemplated for publication of the pending issues of the magazine from Feb 2022 onward.

Hello Roxana, I have not received any responses to my emails requesting my poems be deleted from the site. I would appreciate if you could respond and delete them asap. Thanks, Jenny

Are there any updates on future issues being published?

Mark

Does anyone have a realistic update of when the next issue is coming out?

Alex

Hello, Roxana. I've sent several emails over the past several months asking about updates on the release of the next issue. The last issue was published in June, and the February issue is now 9 months late. Please provide us with an update as to when you expect the issue will be released. And please let us know if your email is still working or not.

Hello Ms. Roxanna.

My story was accepted for publication some time ago. It has been delayed over a year now, and I am just wondering if I can expect it to be published at all anymore. Please let me know if my story's publication is still going to happen or not.

Thank you for your time.

11/28/2022 07:05:39 pm

Does anyone have any updates on what is going on?

Alex

11/29/2022 08:56:06 am

No idea. I've tried reaching out to Roxana directly, but I never get any response. Seems that's the same for a lot of people here.
I don't know what's going on, but even with a broken arm, being 10 months behind with almost no clear communication or consistent updates is not good.

Mark

Does anyone get the weird sense they may be hoarding stories and printing them under different names?

Alex

12/8/2022 06:12:46 pm

I didn't think of that. Is that even a thing?

Alex

12/8/2022 06:16:18 pm

Except, if that were the case, then why have so many other short stories published on the website?
I think it's more plausible that this year's issues are just dreadfully behind schedule for a variety of reasons. All I want is some communication from Roxana about this, because I'm almost at the point of pulling my story and looking for someplace else to submit it. I hate having to air my thoughts on this on a public comment section, but if she won't respond to emails, I don't know what else to do.

Mark

Hopefully, openly speculating about potential plagiarism can spur some response from Roxana. This is bizarre there has been nothing for months without a perfunctory acknowledgment of concerns.

Please remove all my poems from consideration, (Feb. Issue) as they have been accepted as part of a full-length manuscript. Thank you.
Best regards.

We still have zero word? No one has heard anything?

Alex

12/19/2022 09:08:32 pm

Nada. I'm gonna give it until the end of the month for either Roxana or one of the other editors to give some kind of response, but after that, I think I might just pull my story from the site and go elsewhere. This is honestly ridiculous.

Mark

12/27/2022 06:26:30 pm

Did the entire editorial staff disappear into a vortex? This is ridiculous we haven't heard anything.

Mark Johnson

1/11/2023 11:52:45 am

And still nothing from anyone on the editorial staff?

Alex

1/11/2023 03:07:37 pm

Nothing. I'm incredibly disappointed with how this paper is being run. I'm already looking into other outlets for submitting my story. I regret submitting to this publication now, it's clear that it isn't being run professionally. I can maybe find some excuse why the editor-in-chief might be MIA—we all struggle with stuff in our personal lives, and I have no idea what Roxana might be going through—but to have the entire team be this silent for this long is just unacceptable. I'm just glad they didn't make us sign a contract or anything so we aren't bound to wait for them.
