I win at the Internet!

[ursula]

reasie has the featured story at Reflection's Edge this month, where I told her to submit; therefore, I win proxy gloating privileges.

In personal gloating privileges, IROSF has just offered me money for a review of Band of Gypsys [sic]. Thanks to nobu for saying nice things about the first draft, and to franzeska for saying mean things about the second.

Always happy to... help.

I am unworthy to bask in the glory of your intellect.

But otherwise - wooo!

Wow, they're offering money?!?! That's fantastic!

[ursula]

Yeah, they do that. (They publish a certain number of state-of-geekdom expository articles, so if you ever feel like writing a description of, say, KWHS in your copious free time, you might query them . . .)

In the face of another three and a half years of living abroad and paying international student fees in a currency which is stronger than the dollar with absolutely no income, that is a very tempting thought.

Oops, wasn't signed in, sorry.

For what it's worth, the other markets for which I've read submissions guidelines and thought, "Oh! You need an SCA member!" are the Reflection's Edge nonfiction article wishlist (wonder if they'd take "How to Name Your Medieval Fantasy Character"?) and Piecework Magazine. Of course, this is more about the glory than the income-- tutoring math or English would probably net you more impressive sums of money-- but it does make for an entertaining set of questions to ponder.
