lol yeah. I knew November had the potential to get busy depending on how well or poorly things went, but today's development was extremely not on my bingo card. Not sure yet if it'll be a mostly good thing or a bad thing overall, but in the immediate term it's a pain in the rear.

You bet!

Go for it. We have a couple new faces so hopefully we will see a bit more activity! I'm still wanting to get back to it, but we just got thrown a collective bargaining curveball and I have feeling I'm going to become more busy rather than less for a bit...

Go for it!

Please do!

Sounds good. Sorry for the late reply! I was away from home for Thanksgiving (Canada) and apparently got signed out of Shard on my phone

I'm unfortunately just about the worst person in the world to ask about artwork, but I like the idea of the ship falling off the end of the earth! I feel like the Donner party would be harder to get across at a glance lol Looks like we have @Appol PhD and @Paul SB for Monday.

I want "Persistence is a great thing... when you're right" on a T-shirt.

Fair. I'm also reading a lot more nonfiction these days, mostly climate science, for similar reasons. Also because I'm a magpie who will grab onto anything that seems interesting. With @TheDwarfyOne, @Paul SB and @Appol PhD, we're at three for tomorrow!

Whoops, I almost missed this! Yes, good to go for next week.

My bargaining committee, which is the main thing eating my life right now, doesn't sit down with the employer until end of next week, so it's too early to tell if I'm an effective one. But I'm enjoying the work! I did not know this! but honestly it tracks. And yeah, I can well imagine why Rockefeller would have come up with this one.

No not really, no matter how many characters I kill... Go for it.

Sounds good! Still aiming to get my piece revised and start getting caught up... but I'm spending this weekend buried in spreadsheets containing bargaining committee survey data. (I seem to have accidentally become a labour rights activist in my spare time... whoopsie.)

Yep, go ahead.

Sounds good!

Yeah good for today

Go for it!

Good to go!

Please do! I suspect I have a bit too much revision work ahead of me to submit the short story I was loosely thinking of for tomorrow, but I'm aiming for the next couple of weeks to submit something... and hopefully start getting caught up. (I probably won't catch the Uncanny submission window this time, alas!)The move/reno/family medical stuff should calm down after this... but collective bargaining is ramping up, so we'll see how that works out for me

Hello Vie, nice to meet you! Looking forward to having you join us more officially whenever you're ready! In the meantime, if you just want to join the mailing list so you can start participating in the critiques, even if you're not ready to submit yet, you're more than welcome to.

Go for it.

lol. To be fair, I was 37 when I finally bought my new place and moved of my mom's just now... but for very many of those years, she hasn't needed to do much except collect the rent

Right now I'm still poking people who have the current version for feedback as I was hoping to get a few more responses back, but one of my readers just had a baby and the rest are getting back from Worldcon, so we'll see

Both good to go!

The most recent ones I have from you are from this morning and one from July 28, so yes, looks like your subs have been going out to everyone. Spam filters are probably the most likely culprit.
