 (just the) "Fantasy" Entries I'll be a Guest at Trinoc*coN 2007 June 18, 2007 So I'll be a guest at Trinoc*coN in Raleigh, NC, August 3-5. I haven't asked to do any readings (next year, maybe), but I should be on a few panels, maybe even with Literary Guest of Honor George R. R. Martin. Which, yes, would be cool. I emailed them shortly before the 2005 convention in Durham, asked if they needed anyone to fill a panel or two. It was too late in the game, and last year I was out of town for the convention. But just a few days before I was planning to contact them again, they emailed me and asked whether I was still interested. It'll be my first convention experience as a guest.
 2007 Submission Log: Weeks 16-17 May 1, 2007 A third of the way through the year. Submissions 369-373: Stories to Glimmer Train (3rd), Flytrap (my 3rd), and Sword and Sorceress (my 3rd). Filmish things to Gizmodo (don't ask; it didn't end well), and Wholphin (as writer, not director, which is exactly as it should be). Rejections 255-258: From Sword and Sorceress (about a day) and all the comics awards (when they announced their winners/finalists). Not at all surprising, but it's an honor just to be seen by the judges. Of Interest: Glad to see Sword & Sorceress starting up again. MZB's anthologies and magazine were among the first places I've ever sent my fiction starting in 1998. I never got any of Bradley's legendary berating rejections (just form letters and a few "is this supposed to be humorous?" rhetoricals), but then I probably wasn't worth her time. I actually enjoyed the writing of two new prose stories in a row this month. That can't be right.
