Several things, all at once...

[j_cheney]

1) Went to RL writers group (down in OKC), chatted with editors of Heroic Fantasy Quarterly.

2) Drove home, stopped by a a couple of NW OKC bookstores (B&N and BAM) looking for a certain anthology that is supposed to be in stores now. None to be found. Meh

3) Did discover, however, that Christie and Marsh have been reclassified. About time!


4) Boldly set up a new community to accompany the ra_log. aboutmarkets will (hopefully) be a place where spec-fic writers can ask questions or make announcements about spec-fic markets. If everyone plays nice. Nothing posted yet, as I already know everything....NOT!

aboutmarkets sounds good; I just joined.

Do you know who the editors of "HFQ" are, then? The website is strangely anonymous, and I was a lttle confused by the response I got when I queried about it (at specficmarkets, I think).

Thanks for the aboutmarkets head's up. I'm in.
Maybe put up a post there about what the community is all about? I just can't stand an empty blog. :)

Hurrah for the new community! I joined. I've been wanting something like this ever since the Rumor Mill shut down - somehow, there didn't seem to exist any other place that was just right for this sort of question.

When I first saw this, I thought, "okay, you've had your fun, now go flip around the sign so it says Mysteries/Thrillers, like it is supposed too. But it is kinda hard to tell if its just floating there or hanging from the ceiling.

Wonder if it's worth dropping in some info about my erotic romance publisher, and that sector in general? My publisher's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but some of the owners and editors are fannish and they're serious about wanting cross-genre where the specfic half is more than wallpaper.
