Over on the Asimov's forum, Gardner Dozois mentioned my Analog story, "In The Loop," as one of the better stories of the year so far. Well, after someone prompting, that is. Gardner's initial list included no stories from Analog until someone (not me, I swear) prompted, "Nothing from Analog?" Gardner then added my story and a few others. It's fairly well known that he's not a big fan of Analog, so I suppose it's a bit of an honor that he's even familiar with my story.
