Today was very busy, but a lot of it wasn’t CG-related.

First, congratulations to SirDayWalker for winning the Submission Guesstimate Contest! He guessed 22 submissions, which was almost spot on ( Read more... )

It was too late to post last night when I finally had the chance, although in my sleep-deprived state the results would have been pretty entertaining.

Editing happened! We got a couple pieces of issue 12 edited and they’re off to their writers for consideration. Only one more left to do, I think. As soon as we hear back, I’m going to get them ( Read more... )
