Parlez-vous re-jig-a-jig, madamoiselle?
15th April 2004, 10.35pm

I'm being mister sends-his-work-out-in-the-hope-it'll-get-published today, shuffling papers and trying to decide what will go where, and it's necessitated a bit of a rethink. I've got two stories to send to Cardigan Press, and three others for elsewhere on the InterWeb. Some of the pieces I'm sending to InterWeb editors have been lying around for a while - specifically a couple of them have been lying around on this very Interstice of the InterWeb. Most journals don't count publication on your own personal site as prior publication, but I'm not so comfortable with that line. It's been nagging me for a while, and what I've decided is this: if the piece is going off to a print journal, then being on this site is okay because the audience for the two locations doesn't necessarily intersect - the differing medium counts as a different context. But if the piece is going off to a web journal, then it shouldn't be up here because of the for-all-intents overlapping context.

So. Now that that's all rationalised, I've taken a few pieces down - follow those links at your peril. And all of the work that's appeared elsewhere on the web is also down. Those links now link to the generous, adventurous and supportive souls who've published me online. And now I feel a whole lot better.

Meanwhile, like I said: I'll take the mulatto. By God, who's captain here?
