I was supposed to have a folkloric horrorku in Trapeze Magazine on the 21st. It is now the 22nd, and still no folkloric horrorku in Trapeze. I do see that the zine has had a change in editorship; a notice dated the 15th states that the editor is stepping down and handing over the reins to one of the zine's regular contributors. Since then, nothing. Even though Trapeze did post new material every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, there has been nothing but silence from the zine since the 15th.
Does this mean that my folkloric horrorku slated for publication in Trapeze Magazine on the 21st of January, as well as the one slated for publication in the same zine on the 26th of January, will now not see publication in that zine? It might be time to try to contact the zine's new editor, but they use Submittable/Submishmash to process all submissions. I don't know if I have any way of contacting the new editor. Besides, it might not even be worth it.
This could be another of those examples of acceptances not necessarily leading to publication. This sort of thing happens for many reasons, whether it be a change of editorship, or the death of a zine, or accepted material simply getting forgotten or lost. I know all too well from personal experience that an acceptance doesn't always guarantee publication. A lot can happen in the time between acceptance and publication.
