The world flips when an animal gets its soul

[sovay]

I have a headache like someone has decided to squeeze my skull into an orange, but my contributor's copy of Not One of Us #39 just landed on the step. In addition to my poem "Lupercal," it contains stories and poems by stillsostrange, watermelontail, madwriter, eredien, seajules, handful_ofdust, erzebet, and that's only half the TOC; in other words, it is packed with all kinds of awesome and strange. Copies will soon be available from The Genre Mall. You want one. We ought not to hesitate nor to be abashed, but boldly to enter upon our researches concerning animals of every sort and kind, knowing that in not one of them is Nature or Beauty lacking. You will look at neither dragons nor dolphins the same way again.

And here I was just saying I didn't know when that one was coming out!
I will whoop and jump around and dance on your behalf, and hope that your head does not get turned into an orange and stops hurting with all due haste.

I am very pleased to be able to point people in its direction. It's a good story.

Noted and appreciated. Dances, hopes, and donations of poetry all gratefully accepted.

Ugh, I am so sorry about the headache, and I hope it abates soon. And I am so thrilled to be getting a contributor's copy of something with a TOC like that.

It's a pretty awesome lineup!

Yay.

And now I have it, and have read about half of it, and must stalk the postman for other reasons.

That is very cool!

Not your headache, though. I hope that goes away soon...

I will! (I've tried a couple of times before, but I will certainly give it another shot...) :-)

Sorry. That was me. I was wondering who's skull that was... ;)

That was me. I was wondering who's skull that was...

For future reference: brain ≠ fruit!

(For starters, it has nothing like the same vitamin C content . . .)

brandy is good for headaches... but next day they are worse.

I am wondering how I will look at dolphins...

You'll have to ask eredien . . .

I am all for Tuesday. If my head turns into fruit salad, we'll go to a botanical gardens.

Pleased that you are in it!
