h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello,
If you are still around we would like your permission to make you famous by featuring this article in our h2g2POST column.
If we don't hyear from you we'll make you famous anyway.

I'm still here. Yeah cool

Indeed you are. And thanks. If you want to make any last minute changes now would be the time because I'd like to use it in our Feb 4th issue. There will be a link to it and to your Space.

I should have looked at your Personal Space sooner.
Whatever happened with 'ambigrams'. Did it get into Edited Guide? I see one of 'our' AGGists, the ubiquitous Lucinda, had been discussing that one with you about a year ago. I'm not sure whether to just mention the ambigrams, let people find it on your space or save it for another time.

*Feb 4 is our deadline for the Post's Feb 7th issue*

Um, actually both the self reference and ambigrams articles made it into the edited guide...self reference as A533927 and ambigrams as A505612. I'm not sure if that makes them ineligible for the AGG/GAG? In any case there is virtually no difference between the edited and unedited versions.

Forgive us for raising your hopes of Fame then Henry, but our mission at AGG/GAG is to offer an opportunity of a wider audience to Unedited Entries that fail to comply with the 'restricted' Writing-Guidelines. Entries of fiction, first person stories and oddities with creative humour like 'Self Reference' are almost always failed in Peer Review.
We saw only the Unedited Versions of your two Edited Entries and thought they qualified for AGG/GAG support. But as you have been honest enough to point out, there are Edited Versions that have been accepted as Edited Guide Entries. So Fame, yay even Immortality has already been bestowed upon them.
Please let us know if you have other articles that fit our mandate. We are on the underside of the underdog and can only promote articles that have failed to meet PR writing guidelines. These two of yours are clearly too good for us.

No, I don't think I have anything appropriate for that, but I'll let you know if something turns up.

Thanks for being responsible for me finding the AGG/GAG archive though - I would have missed those entries otherwise

>..but I'll let you know if something turns up.<


And knowing just how bent you must be to have sat down and created 'Self Reference' (a labour of love ) we'd really like to have you tell us if you see anything else out there that makes you smile. We'll credit you as the scout and you could even help write the intro!

By now (if you really did start reading our Archives) you know the kind of stuff we're looking for. Damnable stuff. Recalcitrant stuff. Ambivalent stuff. Creative stuff. Weird stuff. Stuff like ambigrams and Self Reference.
