How embarassing!

Due to a editing error on my part, Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine has rejected ‘Oenocide’. The editing error (consisting of a failure to edit at all) resulted from ‘Oenocide’ originally being targeted for Gastronomicon II.

For GII, each story would have appeared alongside a recipe. Hence, for GII, having a recipe as the last page of the story made total sense.

The slush reader at ASIM, however, had this to say:

I like the idea of oenocide, but I'm not sure that a recipe really belongs
in a speculative fiction story - particularly a recipe which isn't directly
related to the story. I think the last two paragraphs should also be cut
from the story.

In its present form, no, though if the author wants to make some changes and
resubmit I think it could work.

I guess I’ll try to stop blushing, do some editing, and resubmit.
