Join Kowal and Scalzi’s Insect Army!

Because this, right up with Dara’s I’m going to sue the Internet for LIBEL!, is pretty much THE BEST ANSWER to the entire explosion going around the SF genre for the last several days.

I have called dibs on the “light brown apple moth”, Epiphyas postvittana, described by Wikipedia as “a highly polyphagous pest”. Because hey, I like all kinds of food! And if I get to be a pest, all the better!

Meanwhile whoa, SF Signal linked to me by way of linking to the excerpt from the Daily Dot that included my earlier link. So if you’re coming over from SF Signal, hi there. All of my posts on the current matter can be found under the tag “petitiongate”.

I’ll update this post today with further items of note as I see them!

ETA: And speaking of those items of note…

Popehat, regarding the threat to sue the Internet for libel, basically says “AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no”.

Mark Tiedemann has very good commentary over here. That post was actually written last year, during last year’s SFWA explosion, but it’s still timely and pertinent since this one’s related to last year’s too. Tiedemann writes about how he didn’t get it at first–where “it” is what all of the people upset during last year’s explosion were upset about–and then he did.

Ann Aguirre is right up front about why she doesn’t miss SFWA in the slightest, for pretty much all of the reasons that have been voiced already.

Boosting the Signal updates

I am pleased to report that I’ve already gotten several submissions to go up for the Boosting the Signal feature, and will have people slated for several forthcoming weeks! Watch this space for forthcoming posts as follows:

February 28th – Anna Kashina, a former fellow Drollerie author
March 7th – Shawna Thomas, fellow Carina author
March 14th – Claire Diehl from NIWA, the Northwest Independent Writers Association
March 21st – Bob Boyd, also from NIWA
March 28th – Ruth A. Casie, from Carina

I’ve got some other folks talking to me too and April’s likely to fill up real soon! So stand by for more data as it happens! I’m going to have a nice little variety of books here, and I very much look forward to seeing what else I’ll get to share with you all.

I’ve been asked as well whether there’ll be a banner or badge to use for this project. I don’t have one to use yet, and I’m not a graphic designer, so I’d need to get someone to make a good one for me. If you ARE a graphic designer and would like to volunteer for the job, talk to me!
