Yeah, I was quite taken aback by the bitchiness on slashdot. Odd. I really enjoyed the story. Didn't take it too seriously, dug the concepts, smirked at the l337n355.

Robert: 's funny, I read Gardner Dozois' anthologies religiously (big, thick, smack-people-round-the-head books, solid with great scifi, mmm) so of course I'd read and enjoyed Craphound* quite some time ago. And I first found boingboing quite near to its inception too, I think (I have vague memories of another blog pointing it out along "it's just started up, it's cool, go look" lines). Yet for some strange reason I didn't put two and two together until within the last month or so. One of those odd brainburps.

* put me in mind of some Unknown Armies stuff as well, oddly.
