Money and Contests
Apr. 17th, 2004 10:01 amJust found out that NetFlix is raising its rates by about $2 a month. That's not a lot of money, true, but at a time when the Significant Other and I are sort of hoping that we can re-established ourselves on a decent financial basis, every indication that prices are rising can be discouraging. Oh, well.
Meanwhile, I spent an hour or so last night offering story entries to the Stargate Fan Awards. I'd never done this before, but I found so few of my favorite authors listed last year that I thought I'd give it a try. It's harder than I thought...you have to try to categorize stories that simply cannot be categorized, and try to figure out where a story would have the best chance of consideration (if a story features Jack & Sam getting married, and then realizing what a huge mistake that was, does it go in Ship fiction, where it would get pounded, or in Gen fiction?). Anyway, I stayed up way too late for that. Sigh.
