Reach from the silence and take your dish

And now, an actual announcement.

I have accepted a position as poetry editor at Strange Horizons. Admittedly there are others, but that shouldn't hinder you from sending stuff. I am looking forward to finding out how this process works: I've been a contributing editor for Not One of Us since 2004, but never personally responsible for an entire inbox full of poems.

(Seriously, send stuff. The things I hear about slush are terrifying.)

This! is a happiness!
Well, for me anyway. Maybe the slush pile is not so very happy for you ...

I'd sort of given up on sending poetry to SH; I shall un-give-up now :)

Oh Sovay!!

That is just so perfect I can't even say.

Congratulations... I think.

SH hasn't updated their masthead yet, though the successive announcements about staff changes are coming fast and thick.

Let me know how your schedule looks this weekend.

I think recruiting you is a great move on their part. Congrats!

Yeah, me too.

What Shweta said. Also congrats! May your slush be full of shinies.

Congratulations! I echo [Bad username or site: time shark @ livejournal.com]'s words.

er sorry, I meant time_shark's words. My LJ-fu is deserting me in my excitement.

Congrats! Do they accept simultaneous subs?

Thirded!

Slush is slush. There are terrifying bits, but those make for wonderful commiseration stories later.

Remind me to tell you about the time someone tried to rework The Road as a short story for Fantasy.

Sonya, I gasped VERY LOUDLY on reading this. HOORAY! Congratulations! I'm so very excited about what this heralds for SH's poetry.

Yowsas. Also, What Shweta Said. I'll have to dig through my shoddy record-keeping to figure out what hasn't already bounced off been to SH.

I'll take them. I think it's going to be a good thing.
