		<title>Birdwatcher by Garth Upshaw</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I  was poisoning crows the day the aliens arrived.  They're smarter than you might think &#8212; crows, not aliens &#8212; and they  don't go for any of the easy stuff anymore.  I had some good roadkill, two squirrels and a raccoon, but I couldn't  work up any enthusiasm for using [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Interview with John Picacio</title>

		<title>After Moreau by Jeffrey Ford</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I, Hippopotamus Man, can  say without question that Moreau was a total asshole. Wells at least got that part right, but the  rest of the story he told all wrong. He  makes it seem like the Doctor was about trying to turn beasts into humans. The writer must have heard about it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not Now, Sweetie, Daddy&#8217;s Worldbuilding by Tim Pratt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm  not a full-time writer. It's much worse than that: I'm a guy with a day job who  also has enough freelance work to keep a full-time writer busy. In the past  couple of years I've made more money from writing than I have in my job as an  editor at [...]]]></description>
