My first professional review!
There's a magazine of the genre publishing industry called Locus. In Locus, there's a review column by one Lois Tilton. She is known for her... select opinions. It's the rare story that gets a "recommended" rating.
Of all the magazines, of all the serious and heart-rending stories of my creation, Tilton read the latest Stupefying Stories with my tale, "Toilet Gnomes at War." By her own admission in this same column, she doesn't favor humor stories. My story didn't get a recommended rating, but it did get a one-word review that leaves me pretty darn happy.
"Funny."
I'll take that.
