I have four, actually Larry Send a noteboard - 28/03/2011 03:36:13 AM
Why or why not?


Because I'm a reviewer, critic, editor, and translator for side jobs to my teaching one?

If you have one:

-Can you tell me what it's primarily about (or link it?)


The OF Blog (http://ofblog.blogspot.com)- reviews and commentaries on matters pertaining to realist and speculative fiction alike.

Vaguely Borgesian (http://juandahlmann.wordpress.com) - mostly a mirror of the first, but it has extra content that's more "personal" in nature.

SFF Masterworks (contributor) (http://sffmasterworks.blogspot.com) - part of a multi-review crew of people reviewing the Gollancz Fantasy and SF Masterworks series. Mostly dormant these days, but I might add new content in the near future.

Best American Fantasy (contributor) (http://bestamericanfantasy.blogspot.com) - this was a blog to update content related to the now-defunct Best American Fantasy anthology series; I was the last series editor for it.

-Do you find that people enjoy reading it, or is it mostly for you?


I have had as much as nearly 2,000 page views in a day, so I would say that it's somewhat popular. Most people seem to enjoy reading it or reacting violently to those times that I slaughter their particular sacred cows ;)

-Why didn't I know about this before now?><img class=' />


You should have known about the first blog; the others I could forgive you for not knowing :P

If you do or don't:

-Do you follow any blogs?


Yes, I have a blogroll on The OF Blog for blogs that I follow, plus I'm aware of others through Twitter or links from there, Facebook, or comments on The OF Blog.

-How do you feel about blogging/ers in general?


It's helped me make a few hundred dollars in two paid translations and a handful of commissioned reviews for Strange Horizons and Amazon's Omnivoracious blog.
