Links and Info Round-Up

Posted on | 2 years, 9 months ago, in the early evening | No Comments

  • It’s the end of genre fiction as we know it (and I feel fine). Barnes & Noble’s new Blog, operated by Paul Goat Allen (of forum moderator fame). And no, I’m not just linking it because he mentions me. Well, that’s not the only reason. I swear.

  • Wild Cards consortium news. Straight from George’s mouth. My final and formal statement on the matter is this: SQUEEE OMG !11!!!ELEVENTY!!! *cough cough* I mean, I am very proud and excited to be included in such fine company, and I can’t wait to get started on any future Wild Cards projects that might land on the collective plate.

  • DREADNOUGHT notes, for your perusal. Sort of. I ran into a stumbling block from a travel-planning perspective, so I spent half the afternoon researching old railways and deciding which lines I could re-draw and which ones I could pretend never existed in 1880. So yes, I know that almost everything under that link is incorrect. But at least I know why it’s incorrect, and it will be consistently incorrect, in accordance with my nefarious purposes.

  • Strange Horizons review. That fine online publication offers a fairly in-depth review of Fathom that’s free of overly significant spoilers. I love Strange Horizon reviews. They’re always thoughtful, and they always pull something unexpected out to show and entice potential readers.

  • Early Bioshock 2 goodies. For all its (well-documented, but IMO largely irrelevant) faults, I truly loved the original Bioshock — and I just can’t wait to see what the franchise creators come up with next. I particularly enjoyed the video featurette beneath the link, wherein I learned many things and had my appetite duly whetted.
