Hello!

I finally posted Pact of Blood and Ice to the Baen's Unniverse Annex subforum
at Baen's Bar.

For those who don't know, it is a workshop for writers to post stories. The
staff and other writers work with authors to improve the pieces. In theory,
they would pick the best ones and publish them in a section of The Grantville
Gazettes, which was a fan magazine based on Eric Flint's 1632. They went as far
as to declare that the workshop was the Official submission system for the
magazine, but as far as I have seen, that was pretty much a farce - I have
rarely seen anything posted there used as magazine material. Now, after Flint's
death, the magazine is no more, but the workshop remains.

Long story short: if you have an account at baensbarn.net you can show up there
and make some noise, so it looks like I have actual fans :-)

BTW I am kind of pissed of because Flint died and took the Gazette with him. I
didn't ever read it, but as an origin of the Baen's Unniverse Annex slush
subforum, its disappearance feels like a loss.
