It's hard to know exactly when, because (a) we're in the process of switching from counting a requested revision as the same story to counting it as a new story, and (b) people like that Rosenbaum guy do things like sending us a piece that we publish in 12 parts, making it difficult to know whether to count it as 1 story or 12. (For most purposes, we count it as 1, but the database makes it hard to count it as 1 when counting number of total submissions.)<\/p>\n<p>So depending on how you count, the 4000th submission may've arrived at any of various times in the past week.<\/p>\n<p>Which means we've received almost 1000 submissions in the past five months (about 200\/month), which means the average submission volume continues to rise slowly but steadily.<\/p>\n<p>Huh&#8212;<cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfsite.com\/interzone\/guide.htm\">Interzone<\/a><\/cite> says they get about 200 submissions a month (though those guidelines may've been written a while back, I dunno).
