Having grown up on Bethesda-era Fallout, I was unprepared for just how much Interplay-era Fallout would kick my ass. Repeatedly.

Very disappointed in the new Nebula Award eligibility information from SFWA that allows partially-generated works to be on the ballot. See 9.11.2.

Well this explains why I've been seeing less paperback novels in the last few years.
All my recent books went from hardcover to trade paperback and almost all of my backlist in mass market has now migrated to trade. The role of mass market paperbacks is now handled almost entirely by ebooks. I'm okay with this but it is the end of an era.
