Here's a question:

What's your favorite market, and why?

What's your dream-market to break into, and again, why?

*g*

Why, yes, I AM in the process of completely revamping all the sites I run, primarily as an enhanced writing-avoidance-activity, since you so kindly inquired.

I would like to make it into The NewYorker - cause it would mean the barbarians have stormed the gates...

Mostly, I like smaller venues or magazines that pay but aren't rated at 'top pro' - they seem to like female writers more - the remaining big 3 (Analog, Asimov, SF&F) feel very male to me when I read them.

This is a tangent, but you made me think about why I don't write and submit to the Big 3 very often (you always make me think, so thank you once again!).

I'm not intimidated/put off by the "very male" feel, but the combination of "very male" + "SF" isn't my friend. If something is going to be "very male," I want it to be military fantasy or something. I really like science fiction presented in a more feminine tone. Strange Horizons consistently publishes the SF that I most enjoy.

SH is hands-down one of my own favorites. One of the reasons I started doing Coyote was because there just wasn't ever enough of Strange Horizons. I ran out of stories to read, with way too much week left before the next one.

And you didn't babble. If you find yourself in Bellingham, drop me a note so I can meet you for a drink.

If I find myself here? I live here! :)
