I totally count words like a mofo. Are mofos particular about wordcounts? I dunno.
But we could be kinda loose in our definitions here. Like, I could totally do song lyrics instead! That could be fun,
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Because books.
Anyone can write whatever length they want! I just like the exercise of whittling down to 100 words.

What Amy said. I like the challenge of making it fit exactly. Paring out that last word is like finding the last Cadbury Cream Egg in the Easter basket.

So...I'm pretty sure I'm the newest book reviewer for Fantasy-Facction.
I sent my app in in March, forgot about it, and got an invite when I was moving and my internet was wonky.
Of course, now that I got the email, I have about 4 working projects to...um...work on, now that I can get my internet to work properly, and have to move again in 7 days.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hey, that's awesome, congrats!!

Intriguing. Actually given that I'll be unemployed next year I may seriously consider that.

That'll be fun, Strix. Where are you reviewing?

Fantasy Facttion.
And yes, anyone who needs a place to stay for Worldcon 2016 is welcome. If the kiddo is not here from August 17-21, we have a guest room (geek kid, with twin bed) and a HUGE basement with a bar, and we can accomodate several people -- a couch in the living room, several people in the finished basement (bring airbeds and/or we will beg them off friends, we will also probably have a couch in the basement by then) and a backyard for grilling/drinking/hanging out.
And -- ahem -- my birthday is August 23, so early bday shenanigans!

Oh, got it. I thought Facttion was a typo!
