August 18 will be fun
Women are underrepresented in the tables of contents of the big pro science fiction magazines. This is simple fact. Charlie Finlay has put out the call for a deluge of story submissions on August 18 by women to Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
I like it. It's proactive, it's a fascinating experiment, and hopefully we'll get to read some awesome new stories in F&SF. If that happens, everybody wins. On August 18, I'll wish I were a woman, kinda.

You could submit under a female pseudonym. Call yourself the "control sample".

But even if the byline were girlie, there'd still be boy cooties all over my story, because, I've been told, I write like a boy.

But that's what makes you such a good control sample. Haven't you always dreamed of attaining full -blown placebo status?
(Ew, cooties.)

Wow, cool! It's a good thing I read your blog, or I would have totally missed this. Thanks!
