Oh, I’m not obsessed with it. At least not the acceptance rate - I get obsessed with response times 😛 I think the data is interesting, especially when the experts actually tells you what it means

And I definitely forgot to normalize the data based on number of submissions…

To me, that looks like either people are better at hitting BCS’s voice OR Uncanny’s target is smaller. But - I also don’t have access your numbers. I’m only looking at overall acceptance percentage on Submission Grinder. I fully accept I may be misunderstanding what I’m looking at

Maybe broad wasn’t the best word choice. Uncanny has a lower acceptance rate BCS. Not by a lot, but it’s lower You both have made statements that you buy all the stories that are right fit, regardless of space.

I believe there are five people interested in an edit or buying one for someone else. Not going to give up; I want to hire this artist.

Everyone. Please. I’m asking for your help. My dog, Comet needs emergency surgery. With this operation, Comet’s prognosis is excellent. I’ve been through so much in my life. Comet has been there for me. I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for him. He is my heart. Please help. gofund.me/4cad0b15
