ellenkushnerBut every time I think I'll reset to "LJ-named users only" (there is such a setting, isn't there??) I get spam on an old post I'd completely forgotten that is great to see again - like this one with Hayakawa's Japanese covers from 2008 for Swordspoint (#2 - the original's here [ETA: bottom of page, 2nd from right], and is my favorite) and The Privilege of the Sword !
BTW, if I didn't properly thank you all for the comments to that one, especially the translations of the Japanese descriptions of the book -- please let me take the opportunity to do so now! My grasp of Netiquette can be a little vague - we're not really expected to reply to every single comment, are we?? - but please rest assured that I read every single one, and that with the greatest of pleasure.
I think that one is my #1 for spam these days, closely followed by the entire prologue to Liz Duffy Adams' Or, - what a joy to rediscover that one! And look! Here's my description of the crazyweek (on my birthday, 10/6/08) when I was finishing "The Duke of Riverside" - which finally just appeared in print last week (in Ellen Datlow's Naked City - No, publishing is not for the Instant Gratification crowd...)!
So thank you, SpamBots, for these little Trips Down Memory Lane. And for letting me know that I can "recant potential around the attraction of [my] special," too.

BTW: There's lots of Swordspoint trivia, covers, etc. if you click on my "Riverside" tag.
