SHINE weblog update

A weekly (or so, I hope) update of what's going on at the SHINE anthology weblog last week:

• The kick-off: Optimistic SF open platform;
• For those that need to write: guidelines;
  
• A post about the US elections and its impact on the anthology;
• Two posts about the publicity events involving SHINE, tagged 'The Grapevine';
• A first foray into the heart of the matter: "Why Optimism?";
• The first post of a series about music that makes you feel good;

Foreign Sale

My story "Random Acts of Cosmic Whimsy" (originally published in Flurb #6) is now slated to appear in French magazine Galaxies (which has been relaunched at the last Utopiales, if I understand their announcement correctly) for the late February/early March issue, according to a reliable source.


Actually, there is another reprint (well, republish) of "Random Acts of Cosmic Whimsy" in the pipeline, but more of that if and when it happens...
