Horrible delays on the trains today - but it means I managed to finish a good draft of the story I am working on, and I have to say: I'm pretty pleased with this one. As you can see from the title: more hippos coming your way!πŸ¦›πŸ™‚

OK, this is not a proper ranking, but just a little fun I had with the Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2016-2025.
2 pts for every featured story, 1 pt for every notable.
2025 weight = 1, decreasing to 2016 weight = 0.1
Full list (67 journals) available from my website.
