Are you toiling in the fields of an over-used plot device? Charlie Jane Anders asked a number of editors about what plot elements have been done-to-death in the short story market.

Another SoonerCon is over and done, and a fabulous time was had. Of all the conventions I attend each year, SoonerCon is my favorite. Big thanks and a shout-out to Leonard Bishop, Matthew Alfred, Aislinn Burrows, Jerry Wall, Kimber Chessmore, and the entire concom team for all their hard work. Thanks and hugs go out to them as well for making me and the rest of the Yard Dog Press pack of feral chihuahuas feel…
