Happy Halloween, everyone! So, you may be thinking, what have we got for your reading enjoyment during the month of November? No horror, surprisingly enough! Instead, we have a great non-fiction article: Transitive Verbs: Language in Motion, by Daniel C. Smith; Learning Curve, a very sci-fi-ey look at what could-have-been if modern science had been arrived at via a VERY different path; and In The Home of the Gods, a fantasy story about what the gods do on rainy days to pass the time.

Also, as you may have seen if you hang out at Ralan.com, we've extended the deadline for our Bad-Fic Contest out until the end of February 2008! A complete rules page has been added to the guidelines. The top three stories will be published on the site, and their authors will receive $10 PLUS a year's free subscription to our Archives!

Thanks again, Ralan.com!
