Top 10 Stories for January 2023

The hunger for any kind of information about the Chengdu Worldcon is reflected in there being five posts on that subject among the 10 most-read in the month of January. The convention’s dates and venue changed – to an architectural wonder, apparently, but one that’s still under construction. Those still anxious to buy memberships using their credit cards got some relief, with that capability arriving just in time for them to satisfy the deadline to qualify as Hugo nominators.

That’s not to say all this smoffing completely distracted Filers from the subject of science fiction. Danny Sichel’s essay about “The Cold Equations” lit off such a discussion that the post had the second-most hits last month.
