Fourth Street was a Fourth Street! Yay Fourth Street! I seem to have gotten only homeopathic quantities of some wonderful people I like, but Fourth Street is so full of wonderful people I like (and not, alas, full of infinite energy sources for me) that it's very hard to avoid this outcome. And it was still a very good Fourth Street full of wonderful people I like.

And now I am home and resting and have sold a novelette, "The Radioactive Etiquette Book," to Analog. So yay go that! It's a madcap interplanetary comedy of diplomacy, complete with aliens and wayyyy too many moving parts, so I'm glad I got all the moving parts sorted out to editorial satisfaction. Hurrah!

Congrats on the sale!

In the "Get Your Reality Out Of My Fantasy" discussion, you mentioned a friend who was a great aficionado of Tolkien ripoffs and suchlike. Afterwards, my husband turned to me and said with some desperation, "Where are all these Tolkien ripoffs? That's exactly what I want to read and nobody is writing them anymore!" So, if you recall any of the books your friend had been into, and can pass on any recommendations, that would be super awesome and really greatly appreciated.

Heh. Please recall that I said I was 19 at the time. I turn 34 next month. So "nobody is writing them any more" is not going to really get you any new ones from an anecdote when I was 19, I'm afraid.

I know. :) I suspect he was desperately hoping for something he'd missed the first time around.

Heard about this one ages ago; no idea if it's any good or not.
