I've done 3. This job, in fact.

Nice one :)

[cryx]

i've been published!

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Which begs the question where? :)

[cryx]

Academically, and a poem of mine was published in a poetry anthology.

I don't think webzines count, but some of my old horror stories were published there too...

I've also been interviewed for a national careers magazine.

In a poetry anthology? Very nice :) Always good to have one's creative side unleashed to the world.

As have I, twice. Once even by a university :-)

All I managed was get a credit in an RPG (German version of The Last Exodus)

I've had one of my old characters published in a Cyberpunk suppliment :)

Ah the art of Blag!

Please explain how you came to win a marmoset?!

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

musingsofallama foolishly accepted a bet from me "for a marmoset" and lost :)

[musingsofallama.livejournal.com]

You cheated, you knew where we were and lied to me that we were lost....

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

You accepted the bet, with the full marmoset related consequences!

7 too. In historical linguistics contexts.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Mine was, predictably, in a computer magazine :)

I've been away at boarding school since 14, and number 7 *waves book in air*

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Ooooo booooook! I must write mine, or at least finish the conceptual outline...

1, 3, 7.

I worry at the ariel on 1 though; what kind of matching did you get? ;-)

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

It wasn't brilliant, our broadcasting radius was about 2 blocks ;)

Backbytes? Cool :)
