"Lost and Found"

Crime Spree has rejected my above-titled story of man who fears his illicit affair will be exposed by a misplaced a ticket stub.

The comment I'm pondering: "[The story]'s not quite 'crime fiction' enough..."

I wondered about this going in, not sure where the story fell. I'm going to try a few mainstream mags next.

UPDATES

(5/12/05 - AM 6:47 ET): I've tweaked the story and submitted it to Down in the Dirt: The Magazine Revealing All Your Dirty Little Secrets, which is published in both HTML and PDF.

(5/12/05 - PM 2:05 ET): Received a mostly form rejection. At least it was quick.

(5/12/05 - PM 4:01 ET): Submitted the story to Slow Trains. Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
