In which new fiction graces our otherwise dreary lives

Another week, another dose of new fiction is up at RevSF, led by Austinite Michael Bey's tastefully subtle story "Phlegmatic Planet", or, as I tend to call it, "Snotbush City Limits." There's also Chapter 20 of Mark Finn's The Transformation of Lawrence Croft, in which MagicCon's comic book guest of honor undergoes a total and complete meltdown at his main guest event, highlighted by that immortal question from the audience, "How does it feel to be kicking the corpse of Jack Kirby for your commercial success?" We wrap things up with the latest installment of Don Webb's Uncle Ovid's Exercise Book, this time getting a multiple-choice, choose-your-own adventure. Wow! I just now realized that it's an all-Austin edition of RevSF fiction this week. Spooky. Scary. Those wacky Austin writers!

Under personal writing news, the incomparable Peter Crowthier has accepted my interview with Kage Baker for publication. It'll be out in Postscripts no. 2, or so they tell me. I'll let you know as soon as I have more particulars.
