Review: Predatory Practices
One of the nice things about going to cons, I’ve discovered, is that you meet people. Sometimes they turn out to be really funny, nice people who also can write very well.

Crimination
Next in importance to personal freedom is immunity from suspicions and jealous observation. Men may be without restraints upon their liberty; they may pass to and fro at pleasure; but if their steps are tracked by spies and and informers, their words noted down for crimination, their associates associates watched as conspirators – who shall…

The Fan Reaction
This is a guest post by a fellow Fan who has asked to remain anonymous – I can’t at all blame him, given the vitriol being flung around on the ‘net recently. He did ask that I make sure you all knew he was proudly Canadian. So here is our friendly Blue Dragon, who recently…

A Fear Factor
I am amazed any new people dare attempt to break in at all. I mean, it seemed bad when I was trying to break in, but it’s extra-bad now. Don’t say the wrong thing. Don’t anger the wrong people. Don’t publish with the wrong publishers. Don’t question the bullshit that stinks right in front of…
