My favorite line was the one about Fish justifying Luke's existence. That whole exchange totally made my day. Great column!
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

I agree with Ookla. Ralan.com is almost as useful as the Writers Markets, and the information is a lot more recent.

I'll probably be going, especially if there are ninjas. Parker, we could do the hotel thing again if you want.

If I can get it off work, I'll definitely be going to World Fantasy. And the anime rooms was a joke (referring to goofing off) and not a way of convincing anyone to go or not go. World Fantasy this year had a lot of Young Adult panels, too, with people who actually knew what they were talking about (unlike the Nasfic YA panels). I don't know if that's an every-year thing, but it would be right up your alley, Fish.

Well, World Fantasy is definitely the more professional of the two. But there won't be any anime rooms.

Yeah, nothing to be scared of unless one is a drunk ninja editor and happens to hate your story pitch. The cheese they had there was scary, too. And that guy that jumped out at me on the way to the Greek place. He was scary--and I don't even think he was a ninja. 
And the Greek lady at the Greek place that told me that she'd lose her job over my visa-swiping. 
Scary. Yeah, World Fantasy in Wisconsin was better than Halloween.

Parker and I went to World Fantasy in November. I met a lot of great people, sf and fantasy writers, editors, and a few agents. Parker's story's even better than that, but I'll let him tell it. The convention, though, was definitely worth the money to go. If I had more days off, I'd be in Austen in a heartbeat this coming year. Heck, I might even take it off without pay in order to go.

Wljkewjp slkdljsk sdlperpowekr, so werweopiurewoiu (might be spelled wrong) skdjdk. "Rumor" banana?
Translation: I got back in '98, so I've been home a little while now, too. I thought they had stopped sending American sisters to the Philippines. "Rumor" lang ba ito?
To keep the thread on topic: Agents are a good idea. One of the best ways to find one is to go the conventions like WorldCon and World Fantasy and then ask the pros lots of questions. A contingent of Timewasters people are going to WorldCon in August. I'm sure there's plenty of room more.

Call me sheltered--pun intended--but I had to look up "troglodyte." 
That's definitely the word for the day. Anyway, back to my cave.
