Innnnnnternet time: places not to get published, and fun.

So the chief editor of Helix, Mr. W. Sanders, wrote a rejection letter that a new entrant to the world of science fiction editing made public in the comments to this post in [livejournal.com profile] ladislaw's LJ, in a somewhat less that professional move. However, the blatant unprofessionalism of that maneuver was soon far diminished in the face of the bigoted language employed by same editor. Assorted authors who have previously been published there are requesting that their work be withdrawn from the publication's online archives. Their requests are being met with a certain amount of cooperation, and some of the most literate playground insults I've seen for a while. A sum-up by Torque Control.

I cannot recall whether I'd heard of Helix prior to this, but I have certainly heard of them now. I think this has gone past 'imbroglio', through 'brouhaha', and [livejournal.com profile] rydra_wong suggests it now qualifies as 'professional suicide' for Mr. Sanders and his magazine.

I still have plenty of photos from the trip to crop, censor, and upload. Meanwhile, a friend of mine has some pretty awesome DS gear:
Phoenix Wright-related silliness
Just the stylus and OBJECTION!!

Don't Feed the Stalker

I have been at least mildly productive today. I have bestowed one of the Things I Never Wear on [livejournal.com profile] myrrhianna, who might, shoved another in the to-go box ([livejournal.com profile] hcolleen, it might be your size, but then, it's also *white*), and had some Fun Times with Art, discovering in the process that both of the units of glue I tried to use are dead.

[livejournal.com profile] corruptflame, and anyone else who likes Silent Hill, this may be of interest:

I know next to nil about Silent Hill, but my friend is familiar with it. I am totally pointing her to this image. :D

That's a neat stylus, and I love the Lugia keychain on the DS.

was trying to find the posted rejection letter, and it's comment soup... do you know where in the comment threading the letter is?...
