    Hi! Just a quick correction – my story “Ivy & Thorn” was actually originally published in (and shortlisted with) the magazine Grendelsong. (It was reprinted in Quantum Kiss afterward.) Thanks!

    So no one is going to fix this error? Or delete the spam?

    Stephanie: I’ve made the correction. Sorry it took us two days to get around to doing so.

    Paul: People have to sleep sometime. That particular batch of spam arrived while both of the editors were asleep. I zapped the spam shortly after I got up.

    (And as the Editors are now back in the same time zone instead of eight hours apart from each other, our effective anti-spam coverage will drop slightly.)
