This is why LJ exists: when it's too late to call anyone on the phone with news, I can come here and pound it into submission.

Finally got my hands on the December '05 issue of Games, about 2 days before they pull it from the shelves. I flipped through the Letters section...

I got fan mail.

Well, okay, it's one line in a longer letter, but I am indeed mentioned by name as being one of...wait, where is this thing...*flip* *flip* Ah, here it is: "...continues to be a leader in this genre." I'm... Dude, this rocks. Please, please, please forgive me for being an egotistical little dink for the moment, but, I mean, I...it's....

It's sweet.

*exhale* Okay, I'm done. Thank you for indulging me. Carry on.

Splefty! I didn't know you did that sort of thing. Genre, please?

That's the interesting part: I was cited for work in the math / logic genre; although I've done some puzzles in that area that I'm really proud of, lately I've been doing more crossword-y things than anything else. (I've got one variety crossword in the same issue, matter of fact.) So now I'm sitting here saying, "Wow. I'd better get back to the visual logic stuff, hadn't I?"

That's brill. I used to be quite addicted to logic puzzles.

Aha! Found a copy before it went off the shelves. Looking at it, though no time to work on puzzles this day, I'm thinking it might be time to subscribe again, after a lapse of many years. :)

And congrats. I have every intention of doing your variety crossword first, so I can enjoy it. :)

*grin* Thank you! Do let me know what you think; I only rarely get feedback on this stuff.
