This was certainly not an easy decision, except for the fact it was. We received over 200 MILLION submissions this time around which really shouldn’t be a surprise since we are famous and people have had our deadline marked on their calendar for a full year.
Our process made the selection completely blind especially because we read all the submissions in dark cellars by candlelight OH WAIT, that’s not what we mean, we mean that no member of the selection committee could see any identifying information which must really make you feel better.
You see AG, it’s not about who you know, it’s about throwing darts at the submissions and picking randomly from there.
It was not really a joy for us to receive submissions of such minor quality and promise, and we politely, albeit insincerely, thank you for your work.
Sincerely,
Broken Toe That’s right, the entire company, no one person made this easy decision!3 Days Later….

(AG’s thoughts: WHAT OMG THEY MUST HAVE MADE A MISTAKE BY SENDING ME THAT REGECTION E-MAIL OMG I AM SO HONORED

Oh, I’m sorry, did you think you were gonna get it? Gotcha! Oh we like a good joke. No, no, this is just an e-mail RIDDLED with information you don’t want to know about!
Well, here goes!
This Title is in Spanish is the story of an old lady who runs away from a nursing home, meets a young’n and has adventures. And also it takes place in Spain during a revolution in the future with aliens. In This Title is Also in Spanish, something vaguely similar happens, but this time it’s about life and what it means to live. And also War. And also political mumbojumbo. And also LOOK A BIRD.
