They don't write 'em like that anymore

New skiffy goodness up at RevSF! Yea! The Tissue-Culture King is by Sir Julian Huxley, and is a great story about genetic engineering run amok--although, technically, there's no genetic engineering involved at all. Chapter 25 of Mark Finn's The Transformation of Lawrence Croft is live, and examines the question of what geeks do on the third day of a convention when money is running low. And we're up to installment 82 in Uncle Ovid's Exercise Book. And this one's weird. No, really. It is.

As an added treat, part two of the Top 75 Heroines of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror is live on the site, examining spots no. 55-36. Wow! That certainly spans a large, eclectic range. My personal contributions to the list include Sarah from Labyrinth, Black Canary, Jadzia Dax, Ellie Arroway, Scheherazade from 1001 Arabian Nights, Sydney Bristow from Alias and Dr. Susan Calvin from Asimov's book (not the movie--never the movie) I, Robot. Where do they rank, and what other women are listed? Well, you'll just have to read the article to find that out!
