WotF
While entering another datapoint into my submission sheet, I discovered a curious thing: for three years running now I’ve submitted to WotF’s 2nd Quarter, and 2nd Quarter only. Apparently I have an internal timetable that reminds me every March that WotF is the biggest and best game out there.
The New Baen’s Bar–Do Not Want 3
I haven’t been to Baen’s Bar in a few days, and now I come back and discover it’s ugly. I am seriously disliking the new interface, mostly because it no longer has sidebars.

Anything that’s actually me is scattered one by one across the following pages. In contrast, 10 of the 20 entries on the first page of my blekko search were actually me, even without the slashtags. And (bonus!) I found a review of "Acid" […]
