SO UH. REMEMBER HOW LIKE 3 WEEKS AGO I POSTED THAT I DIDNT GET INTO THAT LITERARY JOURNAL

TURNS OUT I WAS WRONG. I JUST DIDN'T GET THE ACCEPTANCE EMAIL.

Okay. Now that I've calmed a little.

I learned this because, well, if you get accepted, you're invited to a publication party and get a free copy of the journal. Two days ago, I got an email with the subject "RSVP and Book Order." Of course, not having gotten any emails saying "hey, you've been accepted", I got confused. I filled out the google form to be on the safe side and forgot until a few minutes ago.

I did some digging on the site of the college I'm going to, and found the event for the release party. It had links to the front and back covers, and they put the names of every artist that has work in the journal on the back. So, of course, I checked the back.

IT HAD MY NAME!!! IM IN!!! I GOT POKEMON FANFICTION PUBLISHED IN A LITERARY JOURNAL!!!

I'm reeling. I'm actually reeling. In a good way. I didn't expect this at all. I did get in, the acceptance email just didn't reach me, or they didn't send one.
