And Steve Fahnestalk wrote a really nice blurb about my work*:

“As They Get Warmer, They Give a Little” by Caren Gussoff is a little techo-geek essay on the end of the world, sort of. Zack Leven works in a sim call center, but feels his hacking talents are wasted on the helpdesk. He also has a crush on the green-eyed receptionist. He’s hacked into a sim of the real world , but something goes wrong. We’ve read stuff like this before, but maybe not brought down to such a personal level. As reality apparently follows his sim, Zack gets a pair of really tight leather pants (“As they get warmer,” the salesman tells Zack, before slapping him on the ass, “they give a little.”) partly from need, partly to impress the receptionist. Nicely done, and by a Clarion West graduate.

*Only note: Steve defines “didikai” incorrectly (from how I use it, to refer to myself). I don’t use it to mean non-Romany gypsy. I use it to refer to my own mixed blood–I’m half Rom, as y’all know.
