Flickring Rejection
It’s taken me a while to decide whether or not Flickr is useful, but after taking a hundred or so pics of my Spider-Man toys, I’ve caught the bug.
Here’s a collection of rejection slips I’ve gotten over the years. So far there’s only six, but I’ve got more sitting next to the scanner.
I’ve also started a group for people to upload their own rejection slips.
So, now I’m on Flickr too. Yeesh…

Thanks for these. I'm going to blatantly copy your concept for my blog!

This is the next step for me- sending in a submission to BE rejected!

I heard once that you'll probably be able to wallpaper a room in rejections before you get one published.

Who are you kidding? You collect a lot more acceptance slips than rejection slips these days! And so does Mike Lynch! A plague on both your inkpots!
Mark, the NYKR do have one or two slightly different wordings - but all with the same meaning; ultimately. I've had the same letter as Mike got from MU about her liking a cartoon but The Heff not being willing to buy. I no longer consider Playboy a relevent cartoon market though.
I still get rejection slips, but one or two publications just aren't worth sending to these days.

LOL! Oh, I still get PLENTY of rejection…
I've stopped sending to Playboy. I do so few cartoons in that vein, and to do a batch just for them seems silly.
