Shadow, regarding your story. I have said it before, but it probably got lost in the middle of all the drama, so I'll say it again. Your story didn't get rejected because we were going to remove the SA. It was rejected for a multiple of reasons:

1. The contest. Emp said it best above.

2. I'm afraid your story just wasn't good enough. It is a solid 4-5/10, but it is not enough to get past the spinoff appeal. In spinoff appeal we don't just take stories which are passable, but it is instead reserved for stories that are exceptional.

3. The mess with SA. This is probably 1% why your story wasn't accepted. You can't be going around saying that your story got rejected because of some bureaucratic error or something (I mean, you can say whatever you want, but it's not true). It was unfortunate that you were caught in the middle of a confused period surrounding the SA, but it happened and in the end wasn't that much of a factor.

I'm sorry but I have to (again) be blunt and honest. Hope you move on to something better. Cheers.
