IGMS On Hiatus

Well, if you’ve been anywhere near the Intergalactic Medicine Show site, you are now aware that IGMS is on hiatus.  First of all, let me assure you: we are still reading submissions; we are still purchasing stories.  We’ll be back in June with a new look and new features.

Secondly, I want to clear up the rumors about Edmund’s surgery.  It was a shoulder surgery; that’s all.  He was not taken to a secret medical laboratory in Alaska and fitted with nanocarbonite underskin.  Edmund assures me that the red tinge in his eyes is merely from a lack of sleep, and not from a mini gauss turret installed in his skull.  His “conspicuous” absence, so-called, at editorial meetings has nothing to do with the lunar cycle; and further, he has ALWAYS liked his steak that rare.

Really.  I don’t know where you people come up with this stuff.  Can’t a guy have  surgery without his peers and colleagues thinking that a shady post-government agency has vivisected him and replaced his guts with robotic werewolf/vampire parts?  Sure, he’s a bit changed after the surgery—but who are we to judge? 

Let he who is without sin, or whatever, cast the first stone.
