Till there's only the tickets and crows here

[sovay]

I see that Pluto has been punted—back to the underworld with you. I wonder how Venetia Burney feels.

It's that time of year again: The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror has come out. lesser_celery has already listed the honorable mentions for Not One of Us; time_shark has done the same for Mythic Delirium. I have not yet seen a copy of the latest collection for myself, but I've been reliably informed that I have fourteen honorable mentions:

"A Ceiling of Amber, A Pavement of Pearl," Singing Innocence and Experience
"Asleep at Fortune's Wheel," Zahir #6
"By Sunlight," Clarity
"Doyna for August, and After" (poem), Postcards from the Province of Hyphens
"Etemmu" (poem), The Magazine of Speculative Poetry 7.1
"Gintaras" (poem), Dreams and Nightmares #70
"Growing Season" (poem), The Magazine of Speculative Poetry 7.3
"In Sight of the Seasons" (poem), Not One of Us #34
"Little Fix of Friction," Not One of Us #33
"Psyche" (poem), Not One of Us #33
"Salt and No Wounds" (poem), Postcards from the Province of Hyphens
"Tarot in the Dungeon" (poem), Mythic Delirium #12
"The White Swan," TEL: Stories
"Time May Be," Singing Innocence and Experience

All the editors who accepted and published these pieces, thank you! This sort of makes me need to readjust my head.

And write something for Pluto.

Congratulations to you on all the HMs. Richly deserved--I particularly remember liking "Tarot in the Dungeon". *cheers*

Fourteen? That's amazing. Well done!

Oooh, congrats! Very marvelous!

I look forward to your Pluto piece. It seems very, very odd to think of the planets w/o it!

Underachiever, eh?

Congratulations!

...whoa.

Deservedly so, I grant you.

And write something for Pluto.

...and, at the last, the god
looks up again from the underworld,
and plots, always plots...

(damn. maybe my muse has finally decided to visit again, for the first time in... let's not worry about that, shall we? I think you were in... high school, or something.)

Mm, also, one must be pleased that Doyna for August, and After was in there.

I kind of want illustrations in my books, have I said? /random

Yay you!

[lesser-celery.livejournal.com]

We all knew the quality; we were just haggling over the number.

Congratulations.

Wow, fourteen--I think the anthology should have given you its only little section. Taaffe in 2005. Maybe next year :)

Congratulations!
