PIMPIN'
• As many others have noted, [info]mme_publisher has posted the cover for Polyphony 6. Click here to preorder this fantastic volume. My story has armpit licking in it. And not just any ol' armpit licking, but armpit licking that is critical to the plot. I defy you to buy any other anthology this year that contains a story where there is armpit licking that is critical to the plot.

• Speaking of preorders, Vol. 1 of Liquid Laughter (which will be debuting at World Fantasy this year) can be purchased for a veritable song from Redjack Books. The story in this antho has no armpit licking in it. It does have a talking hat, though.

• Don't want to wait for a preorder? FUHU #8 is available now! Clicky, click!

READIN'
I will be participating in the Broad Universe rapid-fire reading at Worldcon on Wednesday, Aug. 23 at 8 p.m. Room to be determined. As you might expect, there are a lot of readers signed up for this one, enough that each of us will have only about 5 minutes to read. It'll be a smorgasbord of delightful nuggets from start to finish!

SELLIN'
• I sold "Hippocampus" to Escape Pod. I love resales. Getting paid twice for the same thing is bliss. I'm also prepping a story to go to their new sister publication, Pseudopod, a horror podcast. Good stuff, Maynard!

• I have another non-fiction article coming out in Broad Universe's newsletter, the Broadsheet. The lovely and talented [info]jess_ka and I discuss Clarion from the point of view of one who attended (her) and one who didn't (me.)

That's enough for now.

Great news on "Hippocampus"--more of that story is a good thing. Escape Pod is a terrific market.

Only because it's critical to the plot!!

(By the way, the fakey french name Angela came up with for her "granny circles" wasn't so fakey after all. Fleurettes. So, not fakey, just fucking pretentious as all outdoors.)

Fabulous story, Hippocampus. Glad to see it's getting out there more. BTW, why don't you send an announcement to news@broaduniverse.org so it can be linked to the BU newspage. I have been dying to get podcasts linked there. This may be the galvanizing event.

Also, the BU newsletter article is fabulous. You two did a great job.

One final thing: I have two friends making announcements about Polyphony 6. This is starting to feel incestuous.

Cheers,

Scusteister Schwamp

Well, YOU did a great job riding herd on the two of us. Thank you for keeping us (mostly) in line. ;-)

I will definitely send a announcement to BU; thanks for reminding me. I always forget.

BTW, are you going to be at Worldcon?

Just the thought of meeting you is enough to make me want to go to Worldcon, but I just don't have the time. It's canning season.

Yeah, I read your last journal entry -- it sounds like you're living in a horn of plenty! Pity about the corn, though. Nothing like a good fresh ear of August corn ....
