YAY!
About damn time. October 2005, I had the idea and went to my co-author (and eventual first author). Rejected from SPQ without review. It has now found a home at CRISP.
Speaking of SPQ and rejections, I did get the single nicest rejection letter from them for a paper on Wikipedia (with Mad Slave). Thanks to Kristina B. for comments on that one. It is now out under review elsewhere.
Among other great things, Fine said:
This is a somewhat difficult letter to write. So let me begin with a sincere compliment: you have found one of the most compelling, intriguing datasets of any that I have reviewed as editor of Social Psychology Quarterly. Your manuscript, “[Wiki Paper],” is engaging and – rare for this type of writing – fun to read.
I swear, it was so nice, it needs to be framed. Of course, it ended with rejection. But, still. It was a warm and fuzzy rejection.
