Yes, but it's difficult if you don't know what to expect from a certain editor. Hence my question.
Speaking specifically in regard to Ashton Press, it's one of my favorite
places to send stories. I received my first ever fanfic acceptance letter from Ashton Press; I can't tell you how long it took because I don't remember. But it was well worth the wait. Ann Wortham has been an encouraging, helpful, gently instructive editor. And her zines are first rate, not to mention large enough to double as lethal weapons.
Since those early days when I was just one of many tribbers, I've become
friends with Annie. And I know that she's had many real life demands over the years that have seriously cut into her fan time. I'm very pleased that despite all of her trials and tribulations, she's still crazy enough to be willing to do more zines. <
Thank you for the information. This means my failure to get them to reply must be put down to simple if continuing misfortune and not, as I was beginning to assume, to a deliberate policy on their side. (Well, a B7 fan is allowed a certain amount of paranoia, surely? :-) )
And now I'm really going to shut up about the subject.
