Wow. I like placing in the top 10 twice. Mega congrats to Gareth L. Powell (whose story was a lot of fun to read), to Grace Dugan (who had the same totals as Gareth but fewer positive votes), and to Kenn Brown (who illustrated the cover of IZ 213 with maestria). And to the IZ readers for their good taste, obviously ;-)

Congrats on the list! (I somehow missed that "Deerflight" was in it too when I first read about it this morning, so it's even nicer to see both stories made the list.)

Thanks!
I think there was a short version of it posted on the Asimov's forums, which was cut off after #6...

Thanks!
I tend to skip breakfast, I admit--mostly because I get up too late in the morning...
