So... are they being rude or what?

In November, I sent Richard Labonte of Cleis Press a short story for his Beautiful Boys anthology, and have yet to hear anything. It's not actually due until February 1st, so I was wondering if it was normal for anthologies to not sent notices until after the deadline, or if sometimes they don't sent notices at all, or if it would be completely out

Hi and Happy New Year.To the subject above: I would guess that they don't decide until after the due date, but I don't think it's impolite to ask.
The reason that I comment is the usual though: do you want to do another beta job for me? It's a little smutfic in the Fullmetal Alchemist universe:
"Genre: crackish PWP (ca 2000 words). Pairing: Ed/Roy, Warning: Silliness, smut, adult language, dubcon, AU. Summary: Roy does his best to embarrass Ed, but ends up getting pretty flushed himself."
Thanks a lot for the help with the TB-fic, it will be posted in my journal and to true_blood_fic

YES OMG YES. :D The very first thing I ever beta'd was my friend's Ed/Roy AU dubcon smutfic, so that kind of stuff holds a special place in my heart. Also, since I don't know the FMA 'verse, AU is good. I'm really busy, so it might take a couple of days, but that'd be fun.

Great! I'll send it to your e-mail address as soon as I've reread it one more time ;) Thanks!
