eredienSo, I just sent out a thingy to Ideomancer. I boggled a bit over who I should be addressing the submission to, as they have a list of editors as long as my arm, a many-headed editorial creature--and it doesn't tell you on the page who reads what, or if all of them read everything. If it'd been poetry, I would have been ok, as I'd already had a short email exchange with one of the poetry editors this year, but it was fiction so I was back to square one. All the books and websites say, "for the love of God, write to a person!" but the email submissions address seems to filter it by subject line to the correct person--so you don't know who's reading it until you get a rejection, er, I mean, response. After agonizing about this, I decided to go with "Dear Ideomancer Editors," which at least has the twin virtues of correct spelling and not getting the genders of the persons in question wrong.
And then I looked at the "please title your subject-line this so it filters into the right inbox" section of the page, and went, "ack!" Can someone define "slipstream" for me? I've seen it applied to works of magical realism, and that story "Up in the Air," and occasionally though not always cyberpunk. I finally decided to go with putting it in the "fantasy" genre, because I was 90% sure it was fantasy and only 75% sure that it might have qualified as "slipstream." I'm still not certain that it wasn't both, but that would've screwed up their email inbox filter something awful.
Am really pleased that I'm submitting more stuff on a regular basis, such that it's useful for me to start putting submissions emails in my address book.
Vacation at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rabidfangurl's was amazingly productive in terms of relaxing. I like sleeping late, walking in the woods, watching Star Wars, meeting wherdragon and aichmetes and Brenda R. for a lovely lunch-turned-cooking-session-turned-dinner-with-good-wine, and discussing fanfic.
Today go and see an apartment nearish Central Square; am hopeful. Will also have to get cellphone, as other roommate has no plans for landline. (I was thinking of getting one anyway, for emergencies, general usefulness, and because phone bills are just as expensive as it seems a cellphone plan is. I try to think of it as further encouragement to give into the inevitable).
So, what kinds of cellphone do you all use?
Where do you live?
What do you find more important: price, coverage, or customer service?
For those of you in the MA area, which plans seem to provide the best general Boston-area coverage?
I don't care if my phone can speak Chinese, hold fifteen photos and do the limbo; I just need to make sure that if I have to call work because the train is running late, or my parents, I won't be paying $50 for the privilage.

16/9/05 02:55 (UTC)beacuse sprint has spotty service, nextel is only marginally better, and their plans are not economical unless all your friends have it and you want to use the d/c feature all the time, cingular was EVIL to me, and i know nothing about t-moble except that they exist, and thus would not recommend them.
