I am leaving.

Well, not really. But from now on I will mostly be co-blogging with [livejournal.com profile] greengolux at the shiny new Vector editorial blog. Reviews, links and such will appear there; this journal is basically going to be a friends-only personal journal. So, if you want to keep up with the actual content, you might want to friend the lj feed, [livejournal.com profile] torque_control, or add this to your bloglines subscriptions if you don't have an lj.

The other thing that will appear on the blog, obviously, is information about upcoming issues of Vector, and updates to the equally shiny new Vector website (designed and built for us by [livejournal.com profile] claire_weaver, who deserves many thanks, and possibly an award for putting up with our many niggling comments).

For instance, at the moment we have columns by Graham Sleight, reviews by Paul Kincaid and Paul Billinger, an article about manifestos and movements by Martin Lewis, and Matt Cheney's thoughts on 2005's short fiction. More soon. Enjoy!

Waiting for me when I got home this evening:

Vector 245 cover

Vector 245: Movements and Manifestos
Frequently Asked Questions about Mundane SF by Trent Walters
A Refusal To Sign the Mundane Manifesto by Ian McDonald
No More New World Orders by Martin Lewis
Not Really New, Not Really Weird by Norman Spinrad
Infernokrusher: A Brief and Terrible History by Meghan McCarron
Archipelago: Appreciations from the ED SF Project, by Claire Light, Abigail Nussbaum, Paul Kincaid and Elizabeth Bear
First Impressions: Book Reviews edited by Paul Billinger
and The New X: a column by Graham Sleight


Yes, it's the first issue of Vector to be co-edited by [livejournal.com profile] greengolux and myself, complete with first-issue typos. Given that we've been editors-in-waiting for about a year, this is quite exciting, and we're proud of the lineup--many thanks to everyone who contributed. Although obviously, future issues are going to be even better.

A proper website, with some online content and everything, will be along Real Soon Now. In the meantime, Vector is available to BSFA members (along with some other magazines), so you know it only makes sense to join. Contributers can expect to be hassled for their real-world addresses so that we can send them copies.

In summary: huzzah!
