Ha! That's pretty cool, like having your name up in lights. So I take it you're the lead-in story?

Wow! Alex!!

So cool

I liked it a lot. I don't have nearly enough confidence to try writing a 2nd-person story (though I've written 2nd-person for text games), but I do like seeing it done well.

Pretty cool! I looked at the YouTube page and they did for a couple of the stories, don't know if I've ever heard of a trailer for a story before.

Nope I think they;re going to do this for all the 27 stories (or at least for as many authors as are willing to write a few lines of script for the promo)

Everyone is so great that the spammers have come to congratulate us!!!

Although I think we deserve a bit more than 'Fine....'

I agree, we deserve at least an 'awesome,' or maybe a 'fabulous.'

You're too demanding.
When somebody gets into Tin House, it may be "Very Fine."

Baby carriers seem a bit random though. What about some cheap prescription drugs, huh?

My baby is now over a year old so I don't get free prescriptions anymore....

But seriously, congratulations to all the successes.

Major Congrats and Colonel Woohoos to everyone in General and each in particular. Yes, I haz braggage! Firstly, up at Kasma, in honour of Alan Turing's centennary, a story about a robot who passed the Turing test. Yes, it did not go well for the robot:

And, at Nature, in time for my 30th college reunion, a 60th reunion story:

Finally, I can't officially talk about this, but it seems another "time-sensitive" story will see the light of day in a timely fashion, if not, perhaps, the way it was originally intended.

Toodloo! [capers off madly]

You're on fire, Anatoly!

(No, really, you should probably put that out before the sprinklers kick in)

I found out that, in addition to "In Service of the Greater Cause," Smoke & Mirrors will also be podcasting "The Skeptic" -- my first ever story. This will be its third publication.

Look who's talking - you are selling left and right - you'd better drop those cadmium rods into the reactor!

Congrats, Anatoly and Alex!

Well done everyone!!

My news is a weird sort of brag... I just rejected my first ever acceptance. :/ A painful thing to do but I think I did the right thing. I guess the brag is that I have more self esteem about my writing than I thought; I hope I'm not painfully deluded.

Thanks to all of you advised me.

I applaud you for doing that, under the circumstances.

I'll let P.D. explain, if he wants to, and will only say that I would have done the same thing.

Congrats on your courage, Project Deadlight.

And congrats once again, Alex.

You did the right thing. Those New Yorker guys earned this lesson.
