@HannahComer4d You have just reminded me that I had a story accepted by a journal a year or so ago, and they wrote me back and told me it was a mistake! They were like, "Psych! We did not mean to accept this story."

[Katie Humphries @KatieHWrites]

@HannahComer4d That seems super unfair. Maybe they were drunk?
