Online magazines are a brilliant innovation except where, like Aphelion and a number of others, they decide they know what is and is not good literature or stories. One magazine owner, on rejecting one of my stories (immediately accepted elsewhere), lectured me on how short stories should be constructed. My mind drifted off to Hemingway, Cheever and other 'failures' who wrote work that did not conform to this gentleman's narrow, semi-literate understanding.

I certainly do not understand mags such as Aphelion who apparently utilise their friends to comment on matters they have neither skill nor judgement to comment on. Just be a magazine, please don't try to be experts!
