Dearest Janie,

We examined the capital you sent. We want to throw it into the ring, but god fucking damn it! …Sorry, give me a moment.

Okay, fuck my ass, damn it.

Jane. We adore how you craft. You craft, and you craft some more. But, and I am sorry, we at TQR are looking for some crazy ass fucking shit. Jane, I am horrified to inform you we will not be highlighting your capital in our upcoming existence of TQR. Whatever TQR means. I may have once known what it meant, but no longer, cousin. To shove the tack deeper into the cork, we love what you do, but we just want something better. Sorry. Carol, will come over to your house and cook you a nice Italian dinner, if that’d make you feel better. And, totally, on the other side of this, I am absolutely sure that you could not give a shit if you got any publications in TQR, so…

Guess we are experiencing a love/hate relationship. Fucking awesome!

Ms. VC,

TQR as a concept exists in opposition to the norm of online publishing. Admittedly, it would be easier to simply issue a form rejection and be done with it, but we choose to give you, the venture capitalist, a more personal experience. This isn't the first time you've submitted to us so it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. That being said, I can understand how Doomey's last rejection gmail has given you offense. May I mail you a copy of our last anthology as recompense?

Sure, why not? Yes, I have submitted before but never received such an insane letter as that, no. I posted it on FB and everyone thinks you are all on hallucinogens. My cousin who is a somewhat famous SF editor (she’s in Wiki) said it was the most unprofessional rejection letter she has ever seen in her life. Actually, it’s rather hilarious though. I can see from that that my kind of writing is totally not your thing and I don’t submit again and waste your time. I’m too old and traditional, I see. My address is 1234 Anywhere, USA, 50613 or maybe you’re sending it to my email, which is fine.

Best, janeVC

The anthology TOUCHING THE MONKEY 2 is in the mail. I hope the quality of the content counterbalances the admittedly base quality of your last "Dear Jane" gmail. I am glad we could end this amicably. I am old and traditional, too.
