I recently submitted, and had rejected, a story in two parts that was of a lady's fantasy.
I know the lady, she is real and so was/is her fantasy. Over years of listening to bits and pieces of her various fantasies, the story I submitted took shape.
Before the story, I commented that she was real, that her fantasies were real and it was her story ... all I did was write it down.
Apparently, the story was rejected because the reviewer got the impression that I did not write the story ...which then meant that they really didn't read it.
I wrote an email explaining this choice of words on my part, but do not expect to hear a reply.
No matter, really. She enjoyed it and it was her story after all.
Just another example of life's little frustrations ... and humor.
