If Short Story Club is Anything Like Fight Club, I’m Breaking the First Rule
The editorial staff of Vector, the critical journal of the British Science Fiction Association, is running an online short story club – each week from late August through November, they’re discussing a noteworthy or interesting story that has been published on the internet recently. And I’m stunned to say they’ve selected my “Stereogram of the Gray Fort, in the Days of Her Glory” as one of the 13 stories for discussion!
Looking back at the discussions of last year’s stories, these guys don’t pull any punches, so I’m not expecting a love-fest. But I am delighted to get this type of critical attention, and I’m eager to see what they have to say.
And by some weird coincidence, discussion of my story will commence on November 17, which is also my birthday…
The schedule of stories is here on Torque Control, Vector’s blog.

Looks like you may be getting your birthday punches.
Great news!

Somewhat shamefacedly, I confess that your post has made me realise I got all the dates from October onwards wrong! It’s meant to be every Sunday, so your story will actually be discussed on 14 November.

Thanks for letting me know, Niall. I suppose that’s just as well…
