I don't know what anyone else's experience has been with submissions sent off a long time ago into seeming oblivion, only to resurface unexpectedly with an acceptance years later, but I had one this week.
I submitted a very short humorous science fiction story called Visit Fungosia in October 2019. Never hearing back about it I eventually wrote it off as rejected - till this week, when I learned the editor wished to include it in the next issue of his magazine if it was still available.
To be honest, I put this story to one side and had more or less forgotten all about it, so, yes, it is still available.
I still find it hard to believe that after nearly five years it was still in the slush pile and has finally made it.
More details later when I've exchanged contracts, etc.
(This also marks my tenth story acceptance this year so far.)
