that's a bummer about the rejection but thanks for sharing your own experience - it's nice to hear that they gave you feedback too, since there's a lot of publications that wouldn't bother doing so. and if it was just a question of whether the story/tone fit their plans for a specific issue, then i'd def encourage you to try again in the future. one thing i liked about ofic was how they post previews, so it's possible to get some sense of what they tend to like without having to buy issues and read everything.
