Meghan McCarron Appreciation Day

Update #9 · Dec 26, 2012 · comment

Dear Kickstarter Backers and Passersby:

By now most of you should have received your print and e-reader copies of Unstuck #2. If your book hasn't come yet, expect to see it in the next couple of days (and send me a message if it hasn't arrived by next Tuesday).

I'm writing now because a substantial error made it into the journal: one of our editors, Meghan McCarron, was accidentally omitted from the masthead page. Meghan is as responsible as anyone on staff for the quality of this issue; she was involved in every stage of its development, from reading submissions to soliciting writers to, ultimately, working closely with accepted authors on revisions of their stories. She even starred in the Kickstarter video! If not for her involvement in Unstuck, it's likely that the print journal would, by this point, have degenerated into a Seaquest DSV fanzine printed on fishwrap.

Meghan: my bad. In atonement for this error, the journal will be renamed McStuckon beginning with issue 3, and I'm going to add a "dancin' McCarron" gif to the nav menu on the website.

And to the rest of y'all: happy holidays and have a great 2013.

Matt
