I just counted the submissions I have out there. There are 6! That's either a sign that I'm getting more productive, or editors are getting slower.
The other day I was at the Infinitas Writers Group. We'd critted a story and nobody else had brought one. I said "that's okay, I have my flash drive with everything I've ever written! I'll just print one from that", and produced a ribbon from around my neck... with nothing on the end of it.
Everything I've written. Gone.
...luckily I'd backed everything up less than a week before, and new crits are always with my group at Authors By Design. Still, somebody out there has all my stories and a few photos of my kids.

How awful. That's one of those freezing fear moments, isn't it? I had the same when my laptop when it died the other day. Thank goodness for backups!
Hopefully somebody will hand it in.
Also on the subs thing--I think it's an editors getting slower thing. I have about ten subs out at the moment, which is quite astounding, considering I spend all of my available time doing as little as possible.
In your case, though, I choose to believe it's due to your being prolific.
oh crap, I felt your pain there for a second...but then, of course you have other copies of everything! (phew!)
