Still finalizing a few pieces however, I&#8217;m on the line about one and as such, may have two further rejection letters to send out. I&#8217;ve been holding off on the publication for this reason. Should have a final decision about the matter by later tonight. What follows is hopefully a productive weekend for the website.<\/p>\n<p>Elaborate marketing is being held off for a little while, until the thing I mentioned a few posts back, the thing we are all intensely excited about, has been elaborately planned and once we&#8217;ve got that little reading out of the way.
