Not Funny, Universe

There's a certain anthology that opens up around this time every year. I have an unbroken six-year track record of getting rejected by these folks, so when I realized the annual sub window was approaching and I didn't have something suitable on hand, I sat down and wrote a new story specifically for them.

(I've even been fighting myself on the title, because the obvious-to-me choice is a pun and this market's not overly keen on puns. (They're also not keen on vampires, which you'd think I'd've remembered from previous years before writing a... yeah, it's a vampire story. But I think it's a good vampire story, and we work with what we have.))

All that... and they don't seem to be doing the anthology this year. There's nothing about it on the website, and no mention in any social media that I can find. I have enquired, but no response as of yet.

And I am seriously bummed out about it. Why so difficult, universe?
