Three Partitions

[ann_leckie]

I wanted to post these links earlier, but I didn’t want them to get lost in the week’s excitement.

This month’s fiction at GigaNotoSaurus, as I’ve mentioned previously, is “Three Partitions” by Bogi Takács. I’m particularly pleased to have this story close out my editorship.

I could spend some time explaining why that is, but as it happens, Bogi eirself has written some notes on eir blog about the story, which I commend to your attention: “Story Notes: Three Partitions” and “More on Three Partitions”

That second link is responding to/expanding on a very interesting and insightful post by Rose Lemberg, “Bogi Takács’s “Three Partitions,” and the rabbinical approaches to nonbinary gender”

All very interesting and worth reading. Do check them out.

When you say "close out your editorship," I guess I've missed an announcement? Are you turning it over to someone else or closing it down?

Oh, sorry! I'm handing editorship over to Rashida J. Smith. I'm still writing the checks and such, but she gets to call the editorial shots now! I think I probably buried that in the post about "Three Partitions" going live.

Got it! It was probably in that announcement, as you said--which I probably missed due to not being on LJ at the right moment.

Cool, well then: carry on!

Thank you very much! I'd say it's a great story, but I am biased on many levels.

Also, I am very sorry I never got to send you anything for GNS. In retrospect, that was a mistake.

I'm very glad that GNS is continuing, even if you won't be the editor anymore. It's so hard to place novelettes and novellas, but they're such a great form. I've written two since starting to write again, and I'm sure one will wing its way to GNS! :)
