The article in question is actually an historical note: John D. MacDonald, when he was older and in demand, wrote a satirical "rejection slip" to send to editors who requested stories. He wasn't the only one who actually did that.

Actually a lot of writers who were never in demand at all did it too, at least in private -- here's a great clip from Black Books with a wonderful rejection of a rejection:

LOl. Talk about role reversal. Form written rejection letters from authors may become the new trend. Definitely got a good laugh out of that one. Great Post, Ruth!
