Dragon*Con announcement

[greygirlbeast]

I do wish it were not necessary to make this announcement. But. Regrettably, I shall not be attending Dragon*Con this weekend. I was unable to come to a satisfactory agreement with the convention programming staff regarding my scheduling and advised them today that I would not be coming. No ill will on my part, just a lot of confusion. Maybe next year. Maybe not. I apologise to anyone reading this who will in anyway be inconvenienced by my decision. I especially apologise to Jada, Sissy, Kat, Jean-Paul, Rogue and Jessica, Ted and Kelly, and Voltaire, as I was very much looking forward to spending time with all of you.

Ah, well. There's too much frelling work to do, anyway.

Hasn't anyone out there received his, her, or its copy of Alabaster yet?

Alabaster hasn't arrived yet, but I did receive Sirenia Digest. I really like "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ghoul," one of your more Lovecraftian recent stories. I love the description of the house (I'm a sucker for using all the senses to describe a setting) and the protagonist's "realistic" view of her purpose. Then at the end it snaps back to that neat theme of stillness being her gift...and the sun rises on them both.

Sonya's story is wonderfully imaginative in its concept of alien storytelling, and as always, her language is stunning. I had already read your other story, but it was good to have it at hand to read again.
