Slog - Comments on What's the Internet Version of a Page-Turner? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/whats_the_internet_version_of_a_pageturn A page-clicker? Anyway, this story—concerning internet love lost and found, a shameless sociopathic liar, and (tangentially but vitally) acclaimed sci-fi writer Harlan Ellison—is one. It's amazing, really. Read it now. (Thanks to Jake for the tip.)...

Is that what they call science (or speculative) fiction these days?

PS. Yes, I know he's won a couple of Edgar Allan Poe Awards, but that pales in comparison to his 8.5 Hugos, his three Nebulas, and so on. His peers are Asimov, Heinlein, Bradbury...

His "real" bio

Love, deceit, Dan Fogelberg message boards.

This paean to his "brilliance" wrapped around a ho-hum "there's liars in them there internets" story was difficult to choke down.

And then there's always this one, which involves minors, which makes it exponentially worse.

Also, that photo of Janna St. James made me really, really sad.
