Responses going out. Times like this, we can see why some mags don't accept simultaneous submissions. We don't want to limit writers and it's no problem if a piece is withdrawn, but it's a pain when the withdrawal happens *after* we've sent an acceptance. Twice so far this round. The issue shrinks.

Viridine Literary is one of my favorite magazines on my FYP. Contrarily bizarre and elegant, even humorous -- but a tender mote of peace. Sometimes, you need to live in the calm.
