caught in the cross-fire

OK, I have a real problem here, & (guess but I just don't know) what to make of it: after the good news on "Trinities", I submitted "To Fight in the Sky" to ASIM. Today, I received 2 emails from them. One said my story was being rejected, for various reasons; the 2nd said that the story had made its way thru the first round of readings & would now go thru a 2nd round. Unless I flunked the 2nd round already (it's supposed to take 2-3 weeks) & they sent out the forms in the wrong order, I'm totally at a loss as to why or how the 2 messages wound up in my inbox. I jotted the guy a note & hopefully we'll be hearing that everything's OK. The criticism offered could, I think, be regarded as valid problems for some publishers -- Stan Schmidt's only problem was the Shaft, & I think dealing with the explanations of the Shaft may have contributed to this one reader's confusion -- I just won't know if I can submit it elsewhere until I hear from the editor. I don't see why, when I did so well in college, that I'd be having these problems with semi-professional magazines. Maybe it's because I did all my writing while sailing the darkened seas.
