Dear Dr. Copley,

I assure you this submission is no joke.

However, I have noticed an uncommon level of animosity in your response to our manuscript submission. I do hope you will do your best to keep your interactions with us civil. I think I speak for both myself and my co-author when I say that we managed to adopt a cordial tone in our peer review correspondence, as you previously requested of us; we hope you will offer us the same respect.

Thank you for considering our work for your journal.

Best wishes,
Nicolo Di Genova, PhD

I could not have said it better nor more succinctly than my dear colleague!

I must say, Dr. Copley, that your email was quite surprising to us. In our combined years of paper submissions, nobody has ever reacted to a manuscript with such suspicion or skepticism. If we may suggest directing your attention towards proceeding with the peer-review process? We are eagerly looking forward to receiving the reviewer comments.

PS - Happy Valentine’s Day! ;)

Notes:

I like to think Nicky and Joe came up with the idea for this co-authored paper while on a beach in Malta together (melee-free this time, unless we’re talking about the cocktail)… don’t ask me how they were able to focus on something other than each other for long enough to actually produce a manuscript though. I’m sure there were plenty of ‘distractions’ in the process. 😏

Anyway. This was so! much! fun! to write. I hope you all had just as good a time reading it - please please pretty please drop me a comment to let me know, it literally brightens up my day to get something nice in my inbox (and we could all use more of that these days!).

One final note - as I was drafting this I was making a few (okay, copious) notes on the side as to the plot points I pictured happening ‘behind the scenes’ of these emails. I’d like to write a narrative piece to accompany/complement this puppy because the ideas are definitely there, it’s just gonna be a matter of finding the time and motivation. And then I’ve also got a few other ideas to tack on and extend this as a series… Gahhhh, there are literally dozens of other plot bunnies I’ve got gnawing at my brain that are all fighting for dominance, including one fic that I’m right in the middle of drafting that I hope to get posted soon - so keep an eye out for a new fic dropping at the start of February, and maybe we’ll see more of our fave nerdy academic duo after that wraps up. 🤞 (And I’m not saying that comments will work as bribes, but they can be motivating, you know? 😇)
