So I totally forgot to note when this happened, because I'm SUPER ON TOP OF THINGS, but my short-short magical realist story "Crowned" went up last month on Daily Science Fiction. If you happened to visit me any time between 2009 and 2011, you'll recognize the mural.

(In other news, for the next week I'm in Portland! Oregon, not Maine. It is deeply surreal not to be surrounded by snow.)

Portland! \o/

We don't know each other hardly at all, I know, but if you need anything from a local, I might well be able to supply. :-)

Welcome to the Great Northwet! (No, that is not a tyop, as anyone presently in the neighborhood already knows.) If you have need of a native guide or would like to meet for a beverage-of-choice, send me a PM, and we'll see how our schedules fit together.

Also, there is an open SFnal book group that meets monthly at the west-side branch of Powell's Books, at which I'm a regular; the sessions are @ 7 pm on the second Tuesday (i.e. the 10th), and this month's book is Zelazny's A Night in the Lonesome October. (It's an explicit rule that you don't have to read the book to participate; we have one regular who makes a point of Not Reading most of the books, but we love him anyway. :-/)

I like the story! The sense of setting is so strong. Also, octopus!

I don't recognize the mural, but it comes through vividly in the story. Congratulations!

It is indeed magnificent. :D

To quote everyone else, OCTOPUS IN THE BATHTUB. Congrats on the story! XD
