In the news

Race, Sex and the Trials of a Young Explorer

An interesting brief overview of 19C scientific racism, as captured in the story of Paul Du Chaillu.

Sister Jasmine news

Apparently the results of the first annual InterGalactic Awards are in, and "Sister Jasmine Brings The Pain" came in second place in the IGMS reader's poll!  Nicole Cardiff's vivid art for the story also came in second, so I think that makes it a double win.

I haven't seen a formal announcement yet, so I don't know who the other winners are. I do know that IGMS is planning on offering free access to the winning stories for two months.

In other words, if you've wanted to read all of "Sister Jasmine" but didn't want to pay for a full subscription, or if you want to check out IGMS for free, you'll soon get your chance. Hurray!
