The Siege of Links

• The discussion about the non-fiction category rumbles on, with a couple of offshoots elsewhere. I’m not sure we’re actually any nearer a solution, but lots of interesting things have been said. Of course, more opinions (even of the “me too” variety) are always welcome.
• Two great posts about The Prestige: Abigail Nussbaum on the film and Nic Clarke on the book.
• Two new websites: one for Farah Mendlesohn’s forthcoming anthology Glorifying Terrorism, and one for The Arthurc C. Clarke Award.
• UK magazine Dreamwatch is ceasing publication; however, as of the 25th January it will continue in an online incarnation at www.dwscifi.com.
• Jeff VanderMeer on some common flaws in the stories he’s been reading for Best American Fantasy.
• The Litblog Co-Op’s latest selection is Wizard of the Crow by Ngugi wa Thiong’o.
• A short article on Thomas Pynchon by Gregory Feeley.
• Elizabeth Hand starts a thread about why she doesn’t blog and ends up talking about a group blog with folks like Paul Witcover and Lucius Shepard.
• Dan Martin in The Guardian on Battlestar Galactica season 3. (For a different take on the season from a different Dan, see Strange Horizons tomorrow.)
• I really don’t know what to make of this, except to say that abbreviating “fantasy fiction” to “fanfic” strikes me as having the potential to make parts of the internet implode.
• And finally: the true extent of Vector’s operations revealed.

(I owe a number of people email. Unfortunately, this situation is not likely to change in the next few days. Sorry, all.)
