A Blast From The OA Blog Past: The Doctor Who Stages of Rejection

Classic! Love it, Lindsay! I have some Doctor Who catching up to do, as well. Sometimes I'm just overwhelmed by the awesome.

Perfect! Love this. And it came at the right time. I just received the fastest rejection ever: two hours. A new record.
