This section is designed for InterText's editors to pick their favorite
stories out of all the stories we've published over the years.

of InterText on the Web a chance to hit the highlights.

twenty years of her work, we bet you won't find this episode in there...
After we fail at something, it's usually our first instinct to try
and redeem ourselves. For that redemption, we look to our loved ones first.
Perhaps, instead, we should look inside ourselves -- no matter what the
dangers.
The dirty, dystopian future of cyberpunk writers is quite popular
now. But if the future ends up looking more like Leave it to Beaver
than Neuromancer, should we consider ourselves lucky or cursed?

Some random links to science fiction stuff
This page is not meant to be a general archive --- we list a couple of those
first thing, and they're really good places for general searches. Other
than those, we keep links to some categories that we feel like singling
out (whichever members of those categories we happen to have URLs for, that
is, we don't search).
Mind's Eye Fiction,
a science-fiction publishing website; MITSFS book reviewers can read the
last parts free to write reviews of them for the _Twilight_Zine_. Contact
[email protected] if interested.
Addresses of other SF-type documents will be gladly received by [email protected].
