I know I know it's so very late and I am very sorry for the delay... but here the good news: the winner has been picked in a random drawing and he or she will be notified shortly. Also, we will then share the results of the survey.

Again, my apologies.

I'll join in the suck up fest to Alex in hopes that it will improve my chances with everyone echoing ShortNCuddlyAm words! Well said!

Next question, Vintage Season:
What kind of Pulp?
Robert Bloch pulp?
"The Spider" pulp?
Cornell Woolrich pulp?
Orange pulp?
Henry Kuttner pulp,
C. L. Moore pulp,
Fredric Brown pulp,
Maxwell Grant pulp,
flying cars, glow worms, flailing threads, headless photographers, whatever-the-heck-happened-to-science-fiction? pulp,
... plus some alternate history, adventure, speculative horror, absurdity and general etceteras.

Who's sucking up? Just because my nose is brown...

Wait! It's not brown. I'm innocent!

There's no sucking up.

That's the undertow.

As Bruce Bethke once said, much of science fiction is simply horror with an engineering degree. Speculative horror doesn't claim to have the degree, but it's read a few science journals.

You are forgiven if I am the random person. If not, keep picking until my name is picked. Then you are 100% forgiven.

JS - you could never be considered "random"! Nice try though.

If I recall correctly from the survey parameters, yes... including Greenies, and including Alex.
