Maintainer Note about Tags

In order to keep our tags clean, I'm currently going through and deleting markets that no longer exist (Postcards From....,Transmitter, Serpentarius, that kind of thing) as well as anthologies that are closed to submission.

If you see a market on the list that no longer exists or is pemanantly closed, please advise me in comments. Repeating anthologies (polyphony, sword and sorceress, clockwork phoenix) will not be deleted.

ETA: Oops! I didn't mean to post this here. I'll scramble over to the [livejournal.com profile] ra_log and fix that....

Hive mind question...

It's 1905 near Saratoga Springs, NY. Someone shoots your race horse. What do you do with the corpse?

ETA: Found what I was looking for. I knew there had to be some tradition for racing...
When a horse dies, only the head, heart, and hooves are buried. The rest of the body is cremated and scattered. Head for knowledge, heart for character, hooves for speed.

I found this from several sources so I think it's pretty widely accepted. I'll still call in the knacker and have him do it....and bury the parts on the track's infield.
