Apparently my short story "Alloy" is in this week's Nature. Wheeee! I haven't seen it yet, although I've seen the page proofs, and the illo they gave me was really creepy (in a good and appropriate way). I will go look at a bookstore today, but I'm not sure when the week's issues arrive in stores, so I may have to haunt the periodical rack obsessively check more than once to find it.

Nature! I mean -- Nature!

I am pleased.

Congratulations! (And my library gets Nature online! ... although the latest issue probably won't be up for a few days, as it seems to be going to a Page Not Found page.)

Exciting! Even their webpage hasn't updated yet, but maybe it will this afternoon.

Those page proofs are really something. I printed out a couple of copies of mine and inserted them in my dossiers for those jobs I am applying to as it is visually arresting and short enough to actually read.

Yah, I was pretty impressed. Sounds like a good use for them, definitely.

Shouldn't that be Alloy'd squee?

I'll have to check -- I think Nature is one of our periodicals at work...

Hooray hooray! Now I have to go see if I can find a copy. (I know we get Nature here, but I don't know offhand where they keep the dead tree copies.)

How incredibly cool! Will there be a link online for it? I live in such a backwater there's no chance of seeing it here.

Squee! Go you!

I think there will be. I'll let you-all know.

Hooray!

But not the most fantabulous rockstar ever. Or even in the house. :)

Woohoo! Very cool story (Hekman library has a "Fulltext" subscription to Nature online, so I just got to read it here at work!). Yeah, the illustration is kinda creepy/appropriate.
