My review of the latest issue of F&SF is online now at The Fix, which is nice, though Gordon Van Gelder has already pointed out that I made a mistake – calling Dean Whitlock’s “Changeling” his first public story, when it obviously wasn’t.

Apologies to Mr Van Gelder and Mr Whitlock – fortunately the mistake happened on one of the stories I really liked in the issue, so I don’t feel like I’ve insulted an author twice!

The new BSFA mailing arrived today – unfortunately it’s a little late so some of the material in the newsletter is out-of-date. Still it’s a bumper Vector with loads of reviews and three very good short stories in a sampler from Elastic Press. And for the very first time in a very long time a BSFA mailing has gone out in which there is not one single word written by me… well, except for the newsletter… nothing in the magazines.

Speaking of the BSFA – is there any BSFA member out there (or anyone willing to become a BSFA member) with some web design experience who’d be willing to take on the production duties on MATRIX. Ian Whates has an issue that’s ready to go but we’ve got no one to do the web lay-up. The format from previous issues is already in place so there’s not much in the way of design to do. Come on, step-up, be a volunteer in the BSFA’s happy marching band…
