If there are any other magazines, journals etc, who would like my help cataloguing their fiction by tags/genre/etc hit me up! The only caveat is that you have paid your authors!
@erincairns.bsky.social , founder of the fabulous InkFoundry did the lion's share of the story metadata entry with help from @quitevague.bsky.social and the Diabolical Plots First Readers. This might have taken me years to do myself! This was so helpful!

New interview with Danai Christopoulou about VILE LADY VILLAINS!
"So Klytemnestra and Lady Macbeth had always been favorites of mine, and growing up I started seeing the parallels between their characters, how they were almost an allegory for female ambition and power."

I'm in the current issue of Analog. I managed to negotiate to a contract I was willing to sign. Naively, I thought that established writers giving this feedback would eventually make a dent.
It hasn't. I don't know that it will. I just wrote to Trevor withdrawing a story I'd sold to him.

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
