I still need more drink testers. If anyone is interested in getting an advance taste of Conflux, please give me your email address and the number of drinks you're willing to taste in the cause of speculative fiction. There are a limited number of non-alcoholic recipes available, since no-one has expressed an interest in them at all yet.

Conflux Short Story Competition

I've been told the first short story has arrived for the Conflux Short Story Competition. I looked at the date and realised that a whole bunch more will be arriving soon. Very soon.

If you haven't thought about what you're writing for it yet, you might want to get a move on. The theme is 'Dreaming.' You can find all the details you need at the Conflux site. Please, please read them before you send anything off to anyone!!

If you know the judges and are concerned that we might hate you for that prank you pulled last year (stealing Trudi's chocolate - never a wise thing) then worry not. We're all reading blind. Let me try that one again. We have an awesome slushmeister who is stripping stories of their author identifications so that friendship or enmity or stealing Trudi's chocolate will not sway us. The others' eyesight is fine - I was half blind before the process started.
