I can categorically state that I do not know anyone who writes like KJ Bishop. Furthermore I have never heard of KJ Bishop and any of my guesses that are purported to include her name do not. It was, of course, a tragic misunderstanding – I was referring to MJ Bishop. You know: the scientist and uh, very occasional writer of New Weird.

I tried to treat it like a logic puzzle, but didn’t have enough info to be sure of anything more than the last three. sigh.

It was a tough, tough contest, I think. If I hadn’t co-edited the antho, I wouldn’t have been able to guess half of them!

Wow! I may have been just as wrongedy wrong wrong as I thought I was, but I’m patting myself on the back now for not guessing on the first two passages, since I’ve never read anything (yet) by Brian Evenson or Alistair Rennie. At least I recognized Di Filippo and Ford! (Apologies to Sarah Monette for thinking she was Jay Lake, although I hope they both get a giggle out of that.) And I’m off to find some Leena Krohn to read. Thanks for the contest. It was embarassing but fun. I look forward to buying the anthology.
