In Science Fiction & Fantasy Short Stories, 'Pioneer House / Jon Black / 18th Wall' is a duplicate of 'Pioneer House / Jon Black / 18th Wall'. Actually, it's a triplicate entry! Thanks.
In Magazine/e-zine Cover Artwork page, Hi Critters, Me again, I sent the following question through in the wrong place a minute ago. The Flying Saucer Poetry Review shows as first place in the standings but second place in the final results. Just want to make sure that some sort of error did not occur. Thank you for humoring a simultaneously very happy yet very disappointed curmudgeon. Love what you do! Justin
