New SFWA Pro Markets Additions
Crossed Genres and Head of Zeus have been added to the list of SFWA-qualified markets. I'm not familiar with either, but an increase in markets means an increase in probability of pro publication, so I'll take it.
On a side note, I've decided not to pursue my in-depth analysis of what kinds of submissions the various pro markets say they want. Lately I've found myself perusing The Grinder when I want to find such information, and though its search capabilities are certainly limited-at-best at present, I think it'll get better and better going into the future. In any case, I will continue using the MarketWants tag for entries that deal with parsing out what various markets are looking for, but I won't be doing the comprehensive analysis I had originally envisioned.
Eight months ago.
Yeah, another reason for my decision not to pursue this project is that I actually failed to pursue it a long time ago. There a number of reasons for this, including lack of time, other interests, etc. I think I've just subconsciously come to the conclusion that my time is probably better spent writing stories, working on my comic, and other projects that I'm just starting to think about actually implementing. But more on that in the future....

Random News from Six Months Ago
The other day I belatedly noticed that my story in Mad Scientist Journal was featured in the SF Signal last fall ("featured" meaning mentioned...). One of those things that probably would have been cooler if I'd noticed six months ago.... But still cool!
