Paracodol FTW. I can has brain again.

Also, the Baltimore Marriott Hunt Valley FTW, as recent unpleasantness with their national reservations line were not only handled efficiently by the on-site manager, but he followed up with a letter of apology and breakfast buffet coupons. No great expense to them, but a small miracle of good customer management.

And, for those of you who a) actually are reading short fiction or b) want to start, my story
"Wolfling" has gone up at Abyss & Apex. Go, read, and read klingonguy's Xenosomnabulism too, and if you like what you read -- or you appreciate A&A's chutzpa in publishing them -- drop them a donation via paypal. Remember, the more arts you support, the more arts you get!

And back to work now, me.

May I contract with you to edit my novel, or determine if it's worth something? It's finished.

yeah, the comcast e-mail went bye-bye when I moved to NYC. dymk at lycos dot com is the default that will always find me...

what did the H-V Marriott do? Or, more importantly, how do *I* get breakfast coupons too? :)

they're not for me of course, they're for Valerie (you believe me, right? right?)

[rovanda.livejournal.com]

just read Wolfling. *cries*

(darnit, now I have to go hunting down your other Dragon Virus stories...)

Is this Balticon Hunt Valley Goodness or Shore Leave hunt valley goodness? (Not a lot of other reasons than those two to go there)

[lagilman]

Balticon -- I'm not really a Shore Leave kinda gal....

[lagilman]

ooo, it worked!

(either that, or you were crying because it was horrible...?)

[jslinder.livejournal.com]

You could be! :)

[lagilman]

oh, there was a screwup and then a screwup fixing it -- and the person who did the second screwup was pointlessly rude about my request for a final correction [along the lines of "well, I don't care what someone else told you, we can't fix it"].

[rovanda.livejournal.com]

it most definitely worked :-D

[klingonguy.livejournal.com]

Huh. I'm not surprised to find uncooperative or snarky hotel personnel, not in the least. However, I am a bit surprised that you had that experience with the H-V Marriott. Year after year they have impressed me with their courtesy and diligence (dating back even before the Farpoint blizzard that left everyone stranded there for an extra two days).

Glad you got it worked out, and see you at Balitcon!
