   Hello!   
      
   I finally posted Pact of Blood and Ice to the Baen's Unniverse Annex subforum   
   at Baen's Bar.   
      
   For those who don't know, it is a workshop for writers to post stories. The   
   staff and other writers work with authors to improve the pieces. In theory,   
   they would pick the best ones and publish them in a section of The Grantville   
   Gazettes, which was a fan magazine based on Eric Flint's 1632. They went as far   
   as to declare that the workshop was the Official submission system for the   
   magazine, but as far as I have seen, that was pretty much a farce - I have   
   rarely seen anything posted there used as magazine material. Now, after Flint's   
   death, the magazine is no more, but the workshop remains.   
      
   Long story short: if you have an account at baensbarn.net you can show up there   
   and make some noise, so it looks like I have actual fans :-)   
      
   BTW I am kind of pissed of because Flint died and took the Gazette with him. I   
   didn't ever read it, but as an origin of the Baen's Unniverse Annex slush   
   subforum, its disappearance feels like a loss.
