Re: "The Rainbow Serpent," by Vincent Pendergast
Read this one this morning. My second favorite "complete story" of the issue! I like the interweaving of the storyline with the Rainbow Serpent mythology. Well done!

Cheers, Kurt.
I'm a fan of parallel, complementary storylines. Though there were times when I wondered if I was overdoing it with this one. I've got Gavin in the present, Gavin leading up to the present, ancient mythology, and ancient mythology getting mixed up with Gavin in the present.

I'd like to point out which staff pounced on this one first. Yeah, IT WAS ME!!!
Fantastic story, Vincent. The surrealism was delicious.

But it works. Beautifully.
And of course Mercedes picked it. She and Nick are the only ones with class...

Re: "The Rainbow Serpent," by Vincent Pendergast
This one was probably my favorite. I'm a big fan of modern myth stuff.

Hey thanks everyone. I do get a kick knowing that someone out there in the wide world likes something I wrote.

Hey guys, thought I'd let you know that this one has been accepted by Pseudopod as a reprint. So it'll be an online audio story. That'll be cool.

Awesome! But...it needs to be read by an Australian, yeah?

I was thinking about that too. I'd be nice... but I don't yet know how they'll do it.
