WFC Report (Prologue, With Exhaustion)
I love everyone. Yeah, even that guy. I know, but I don't care. I love everyone, and didn't have nearly enough time to speak to most of you.
Apparently my default response when told by an editor that he is buying my story for a cool new anthology is to say "Thanks!" and then stare dumbly at him for ten minutes. The sad part is that I feel like I didn't shut up at any other time during the weekend.
Again, please. But not until I've slept for a month.

I didn't see the blank stare. I heard the, "how awesome is this? finding out they're buying a story of mine at a con? after slushing it in the bar? and hearing a group of people was staring at me? because they are taking my story?" Or something like that. Der might have been an "uff da" or two in der, too.
Ha! Sure, to you guys I could talk about it. But when Nick asked me to sit down my speech centers became clogged with twelve different things and each one was more boring than the other. It was Not Good.
Glad to see you got home OK. How is the puppy?
Congradulafreakin'malations. I'm absolutely positive that I couldn't be more tired right now. It's the greatest.
yay! tell us more! (tell me more..)
Oooh, how exciting -- to receive word that you've made a sale at a convention! Nevermind, the speechless moment, that's just wow!

Thanks, everybody! For those who are wondering, it's the Spicy Slipstream Stories anthology that Jay Lake and Nick Mamatas are doing. Trent, I didn't find out until laaaaaaate Saturday night, hence my non-announcement. But it's good.
Yeah, I liked that story.
Hey, excellent! I heard late Saturday night I was in the running, but didn't get the confirmation until yesterday.
And if you managed to keep coherent at all after watching your story get slushed at a bar, you get style points by default. That's enough to set a strong man to hiding in a bathroom stall. :)
Congrats!
Hey, that's great, John! Congratulations.
And I didn't actually witness the slushing; my spies reported on it for me ;-)
Congratulations on the slipstream sale, you spicy devil.
Austin next year, for certain!
Hoo-RAH! Nice one, man. Sorry I didn't make the ungodly-hour-of-the-morning 20 Epics reading. I'll buy ye a drink at Wiscon next year to make up fer it.
