  1. Your (apparent) attempt to link to Uncanny Magazine’s website in the first line of the story went awry. The correct link seems to be (the somewhat obvious) uncannymagazine.com.

  2. Thanks for the correction. Evidently when I added the link the night before it went active either my Word file or WordPress decided to “help” me by correcting the URL to a page on my own computer. I never noticed til you pointed it out.
