Moving, The Fall of Kings, Shakira, and Harry Potter

It's been an eventful week. I'm finally moved out of my parent's house and into my girlfriend's apartment. It only occurred to me after I'd actually moved that this might not have been the best time to relocate, considering that I have to buy holiday presents and a bus ticket this month. Adding rent on top of that is not making me comfortable. On the plus side, though: I'm really living in Philadelphia now, rather than one of its lesser-known and more insular suburban towns. I've never been a city-dweller before--with the exception of a one month stay in Budapest, where my grandmother barely let me out the door alone.

As one example of the manifold delights to be found here, Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman are going to be at Giovanni's Room this Saturday to promote The Fall of Kings! (7:30 pm-9 pm, if anyone else in the area is interested.)

Archive Update

To anyone who noticed that the links to prequels in the story headers weren't linking properly: unfortunately, I still don't know why this isn't working. I did, however, fix the story files for all of the sequels currently archived on Slash, Sparkle, Pop!, so they all link back to their prequels now.

I've modified the posting interface so that authors can submit both the URL and the title of their websites.

The Links page has been updated with some new BSB directories and archives. I also added a section for popstar charities at the bottom of the page.

Finally, I've written a $75 check to Artists Against AIDS Worldwide for the month of November. Thanks to everyone who contributed stories to the archive!
