Yep, some magazines can pull 'em without notice. It's the editor's prerogative. And I doubt that any writer, after finding that their story has been pulled, is really all that concerned with contacting the subject to let them know. If anything, they're going out and getting liquored up or pissing and moaning to their editor or to a significant other.

In other news, my local B&N did not yet have the November issue. I checked the October issue's table of contents pretty thoroughly (once I sifted through the 30+ pages of ads before it and in-between the multiple table pf content pages) and it wasn't in there. Unless it's really tiny and unlisted, which wouldn't surprise me. Maybe I'll go back and check again.

I'm having trouble remembering and am too lazy to look back. Is it supposed to be the October or November issue? Now I'm wondering if it is supposed to be the Lindsay Lohan cover.
