Stupidest rejection letter ever.

Just to make sure I didn't get too confident from all the lovely comments I've been receiving, evil cosmic forces decided to send me a horrible rejection letter. Actually, they sent it to the wrong address first but, it managed to catch up with me. I guess evil cosmic forces don't keep an up to date address book.
I've had a lot of rejection letters in the past, I've been sending off work left, right and centre since I was in my teens and my painful optimism made me keep on going. However, this latest one has set a new standard of rejection. I've had to send letters like this out myself and having had so many, I know how horrible they can be. At best, they offer you constructive advice (these are the ones from really good editors) and at worst they don't give you any reason (usually from editors who are struggling with their workload).
This one arrived a year after I submitted work and was incredibly patronising. It was scrawled in biro on the bottom of the letter I had sent to them and offered such revelatory advice as 'try drawing everyday'. Wow, I wish they'd told us that during the MA. It's the type of letter you would send to a child who had sent in their doodles, and I'm mainly offended by the fact they thought that I was that kid. I wouldn't have cared if they'd said the usual 'your work is not for us' or 'your style does not suit our publication', you know, the sort of thing you write to be polite. Or they could've even just said 'NO! NO WAY! UH UH!'
Apparently, if I work harder I might be able to work in the business some day....I actually thought I already was in the business, maybe I should tell the tax office I was mistaken and ask for some kind of refund.
Well, I'll be looking forward to their next publication. I hope I don't end up with a review copy.

you are mint.
they are not.

What is this chump publication?

Thanks m0nster.

I think it's unprofessional of me to say who it was, because bitching in a blog is completely professional as long as you don't say who you are bitching about. I'm sure I read that on wikipedia or somewhere.

some mumbo jumbo about making you stronger. Maybe a dance, several starjumps and definitely lots of fist shaking.

Deep breath............Relax.

Take care

There's only one explanation. An 8-year old kid somewhere in Kent thinks they've just been accepted for publication, having mistakenly got *your* letter.

:)
I bet it's the same kid that Spielberg mistakenly called when he wanted me to work on a new Jaws film. Also the same kid that stole my winning lotto ticket.
That kid gets everything.

you must already know my stupidest rejection.
Fantagraphics.
something along the lines of "no but we think you're great and should write for sitcoms or hollywood"
Yeah everyone who's not good enough for comics ends up in Hollywood!

So.....why are you still hanging around here when you could be living it up in Hollywood?
