Where we see the concrete world disintegrating

[sovay]

My story "On the Blindside" has been chosen for reprint in Rich Horton's Fantasy: The Best of the Year 2006. This really pleases me. I've talked about this story before, but it's still one of my favorites—I don't know if that's the right word, but there are stories to which I have more or less of an emotional attachment, and this is one of the more. It's also one of the stories that makes me wish I could write continuing characters, but it's been proven by experiment that I can't; the best I can do is tangential relations. Still. Thanks to Tim Pratt, who published the story in the first place. Even if it weren't also snowing, this would make for a good day.

Congratulations!

I'm very pleased to see Rich Horton editing year's bests; I remember him as a very civil and knowledgeable poster on rec.arts.sf.written several years ago.

Thank you!

I've been reading Rich Horton's year-end summaries for various markets here—you may have to click back through a few pages at this point—and I would say he is still both of those things. I hope these anthologies do well for him. And not only because I'm in one of them, either.
