The slushpile for the Edge of Propinquity for this month was not too bad over all. There was one story I almost accepted. Almost. But it wasn't quiet right. Of course, there were the stories of angels creating the world as well as the far past stories written as if the reader was the protagonist (a style I hate). Those were easy to reject and annoy me. I've stopped now because I was so annoyed at the last story I read that I did not want it to color my opinion on the next story.

stories of angels creating the world
Ouch. Was it at least well written? A friend of mine, at the most recent WorldCon, was given a piece of writing to look at. It was titled, I kid you not, "I, Robot".
what do you hate about it?
..you know, this makes me glad I haven't submitted to you :P You intimidate me, literarily :P
But, you shouldn't be intimidated by me. The worst that will happen is that I say "No." to your story. By you not submitting a story to me, you say "No." for me.
And good point about the story submission...Jim recently sent me a link to a site that you can submit stuff too and I'm considering doing that..
What type of stories are you looking for, for TeoP?
And next year's theme will be "Compromise."
