Babe, I would instead feel like a fucking rock star! "Look who I'm in an anthology with!"
Definitely this! You should be proud.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I know Deb wouldn't do that.(she also wouldn't understand this particular discomfort...if she thought she didn't belong somewhere, it's because the place isn't happening enough.) And, yes, I published that because it's a "It's funny *now*" Just having a minor "One of these things is not like the others..." moment, even though I think the story stacks up fine...I don't believe that you could pick out my story as the rookie story, or anything. Which I'm proud about.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sox, that's so cool! I love your questions. I'm almost lost in how cool they are, about food and books. Well done!

oh thanks! Steven's answers are great.
A heads up - I have a roundtable coming out in Strange Horizons in a couple weeks with four writers - Elizabeth Bear, Scott Lynch, Nalo Hopkinson, and Gregory Frost - that's all about food and fiction. Just in time for Thanksgiving. Bring your antacids.

If anyone is available to do a beta in the next day or two, let me know. I pitched an essay to Salon yesterday and I want to send in my very best work.
