Plain Banter

I just got my July/August issue of Analog. No, not the contributor's copies they owe me because I have a story in the issue. You'd think the writers who have material in the magazine would get their copies first or at least at the same time as the subscribers, but no. The last time I had a story in the magazine, it took a couple of months and a few email queries to get the contrib copies. Don't know when I'll see the contrib copies for this new issue.

Anyway, my story "Dibs" from last year finished in third place for short story in the annual readers' poll, as listed in the issue. I guess I can't complain there. I really liked the the winner, Robert Sawyer's "Shed Skin," quite a bit.

Plain Banter . . . lies about science fiction, and everything else. When the writer becomes the center of his attention, he becomes a nudnik. And a nudnik who believes he's profound is even worse than just a plain nudnik. -- Isaac Bashevis Singer
