A conference (for my day job). I'm attending as a vendor, not as an attendee - I get to smile at people and offer them chocolate and demo our software. Or rather pass them along to my boss, who'll be mainly doing the demoing and answering the technical questions.
Well, dang! I'd just assembled a folder of 732 stories to send you . . .
Shucks! You'll just have to hang onto them until we reopen. We've actually got around 30 or so stories queued up to publish, with another 60-ish still to read through in the slushpile. Which is why we're shut again. We really do appreciate getting so many great stories in so quickly, but we have a limited budget so we can't afford to publish more than one story a week. Now, if people would only donate, we'd be able to buy more stories and pay our hard-working authors more money... /shameless plug
