Rejection, rejection, rejection...

[Tallyfire]

I'm waiting for the response from Strange Horizons, and I don't understand why I didn't get it yet. They had an opening, and I sent my story two hours after the opening hour, and 70 days later it's still not my turn. I see on the submission grinder that many people got their rejections and a few acceptances, but I guess I can't believe that so many people sent their stories that I'm still so far from being considered. When will the people who sent their stories five hours or twenty hours or forty hours after the opening get their turn then?

Has anyone gotten a rejection or acceptance from them, and if so, how long after the opening hour did you send your story?

Again, I'm not complaining, I'm just puzzled.

I submitted something about 24-30 hours after they opened, so right in the middle of the window. (No response yet.) I've watched since then how they've responded to some pieces from the top of the pile and some from the bottom. Doesn't look like there's a well-defined pattern to it, so like Naomasa said, could be a while yet judging from the average.

The last time I sent them a story, I received a rejection 156 days later
