Toronto Shameless Self-Promotion

In the interests of shamelessly self-promoting (a subsidiary of greed and avarice!), just wanted to let everyone know that I have a short story entitled "Playing the Dozens" up in this issue of Ideomancer ( http://www.ideomancer.com ). It's free to read, so you have no excuse.

Here ends the shameless self-promotion.

Thanks!

 

I have an excuse.

I've ah.... gone blind and have yet to learn brail.

 

and you typed that out how then?? :S

 

Would you believe my well behaved dog did it?

Not to say in anyways he's well behaved.

 

Congratulations on getting published!!

I really liked it! I liked the first person narrative and the use of sports/fighting descriptions to convey attacks of the words. The background info on the story (in the fantasy section's summart of you and the story), helped to give context to what was occuring in the story. At first, I wasn't too clear on the insults and what they meant with the 'fighting' going on, but once I caught on, and re-read it the story was even more interesting and I understood what was going on.
