You're the top

Libertas in Silico, a review of free online fiction, has named the Clonepod podcast of Outside Chance its first Top Pick, saying "In an uncertain world, time-traveling “forecasters” scope out the wonders and terrors of the future, but it’s what they don’t bring back to “now” that makes all the difference. Professional-quality audio SF from a podcast run by kids? You betcha — it’s not just good (for their age), it’s good (period)."

Attack of the clones (or, how to succeed in writing without really trying)

Despite not doing any non-work-related writing for awhile (see previous post for the reason why) I've managed to keep my name out there through reprints, translations and now... an audio version of my story "Outside Chance," available here at Clonepod.

Meanwhile, "Lagos" has set two new records: for shortest time between initial publishing and sale as a reprint, and quickest-ever response to a submission -- I sent it to Expanded Horizons, a new webzine, and got an acceptance the next day.
