Looking forward to reading it.

I have gone for
the fruit
that was in
your main post

and that
you were probably
saving
for someone wittier.

Forgive me,
it was hanging there,
so smart
and so true.

In fact, if you have two dedicated monologuists at your party, the best thing to do is to steer them together, so they can unload their data-streams at each other - neither will care that the other's barely listening, as they're barely listening themselves - and thus save the other, more conversable party guests from being buttonholed.

Where, alas, linkrot has set in on the TAFF report, the TAFF archive, and Dave Langford's name (at least).

But that’s really okay.

I approve. I approve of sneaking discussion of anything fannish into Locus. Long ago, it turned its back on its origins... but no point in complaining, that ship has sailed.

I still miss William Rotsler's cartoons.

So. Annoying.

Um. Congratulations :)

Ah, nostalgia. I emailed Patrick about the broken links – giving working replacements which I won't quote here for fear of gnomes – in October 2011. Patrick, should I send that message again?

Longtime publishers in the fanzine net report having hundreds to thousands of unpublished Rotsler drawings, and some of them have been known to forward supplies on to promising new faneds.

And unlike the description by Jurie Horneman @10, it's one continuous piece over several pages, with no annoying jumps. Brought back some memories, it did!

Durocher II comment from Bruce E. Durocher II on 8.May.13 I had a photocopy of a Rotsler cartoon stolen from my wall when my horrible college roommate threw a party. I've never found anyplace that had back issues of Locus available, or I'd go looking for it again. (As well as the wonderful articles on writing that Budrys did. My copies are well-neigh illegible, but I still remember the ones on how Tolstoy would have considered The Dain Curse a promising first draft, and the one describing the why behind some of the narrative tricks in Rogue Moon.
