As usual... a thread to discuss recent short fiction, Bluejack's article, or related topics.

The reviews are here.

Cory and Catska Ench's illustration for "The Imago Sequence" was specifically created for the story.

Keep up the good work.

There's a wonderful little alien story up at ChiZine, too. It's called "Alienation and Love in the Hebrew Alphabet" and can be read here: http://chizine.com/alienation.htm .

Hey Bluejack,
Thanks for the reviews of our stories. Vonda and I would like to know what you felt was influenced by Cinderella? Neither of us can figure it out.

The cover for the April/May <I>Asimov's</I> surely illustrates "Solidarity", don't you think? The woman seems to be Sula, and the alien is apparently the artists conception of one of the several species in the Praxis universe.

I really enjoy your reviews!

Good catch. I meant Sleeping Beauty, of course. I'll correct my review.

I expect you're right, Rich. It's so far from my mental image, I didn't make the connection. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks as usual for the reviews!

I'm in a rush, but wanted to mention that Liz Williams's "La Malcontenta" is apparently set in the same universe as her novel Banner of Souls (though I haven't read that yet).

Enjoy the reviews.

It's a while since I read it, but I think Bujold's Ethan of Athos may be set in a world that's tried to eliminate women. It doesn't work of course.

As an avid reader of Speculative Fiction and a reviewer myself, your reviews are one of my favorites from 'IROSF.' When an issue first comes to my mailbox, it's the first thing I read.

Keep up the good work.
