I'm just full of it today.  Good news, that is...
 
My poem "A Horror Editor's Lament, or One Heck of a Headache" has been chosen as one of the best in Bewildering Stories in the first quarter of 2008.  It's in the short poems category of the Bewildering Stories First Quarterly Review 2008, Editors' Choices: Issues 273-283:
 
 
This is the second one that made it into a Bewildering Stories quarterly review.  "Nanomite 323" was in the third quarterly review, Summer 2007.
 
Here's a question (just to settle a debate in my own mind) - would you consider this to be a reprint?  I think so, but since the works at BwS stay archived on-line anyway, I'm not completely sure.  However, it does appear in the ToC of a different issue than the one it originally appeared in.
 
Well, whichever the case may be, I think it calls for a whole row of lil' green jumpers.  Wahoo!

Oh cool, Richard! I didn't even know the review was out yet. Very cool :)

It's a reprint. BWS is a real publication.

It's a reprint. BWS is a real publication.

I'm just having a little trouble getting my mind to grasp the nuances of on-line publications.  I wasn't sure about the reprint thing because of the fact that the piece stays archived on-line.  I never really doubted that BwS was a real publication.
 
However, this does bring me to a story.  I had this on-line acquiantance for a while (met through an arm & armour site) that made some rather disparaging comments about articles published through that particular arms and armour site.  It seems he felt that they didn't count as "real" publications, even though they went through a peer review and editorial process.
 
Apparenly, some people do think that on-line publications are not "real" publications.

reprint = printed again.

The quarterly review isn't the same thing that it was printed in, the first time.

BWS is a real magazine, though they don't put out a print version. BWS Quarterly review is completely different than the individual issues and much, much harder to get the editorial review board to select your piece for.

and some people think that about certain print publications. They can think what they want. That doesn't change reality or fact.
