Blog postI’ve decided to run for a Director-at-Large position on the Board of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. The following is the platform statement I posted on the SFWA forum to announce my candidacy:
I’m Eric James Stone, and I’m running for Director-at-Large.
This is not the first time I’ve thrown my hat into the ring for SFWA office: in 2011, Mary Robinette Kowal encouraged me to run for Treasurer when it looked like Bud Sparhawk might not run for re-election. -
Blog postI read — OK, listened to — 45 books in 2018, so a little less than one a week. I started the first one in 2017 and finished the last one in 2019. I’ve omitted any books I started and decided not to finish, so I felt all of these books were worth finishing. I have also omitted unpublished books I read in critique group. The list is chronological, not ranked.

Blog postOn 12/10/2018, I published my blog post about SFWA and the Writers of the Future Contest. (I’ve since updated it a few times for various reasons, including an official response from the SFWA Board on 12/18/2018.)
On 12/11/2018, the SFWA Board issued an update to clarify the rule about contests:
Qualification Update: Publication Via Contests As Applicable to Rule III Sales
Short fiction and novels that are published as part of a contest, including publication in print o -
Blog postUPDATE 12/28/2018: I’ve published a followup blog post.
UPDATE 12/19/2018: The SFWA Board send me an official response via email yesterday. I’m adding it at the end of this post.
UPDATE 12/17/2018: After some thought, I have redacted portions of this blog post that dealt with internal Grievance Committee processes. I do not believe they violated the specific confidentiality rule in the SFWA Operating Policies & Procedures, but I know the committee pref -
Blog postTime for another of Eric’s Wacky Public Policy Proposals!
People pay smugglers thousands of dollars to get smuggled into the United States. This generates revenue for criminal operations, and puts people’s lives at risk. The presence of illegal immigrants in the United States also leads to employers paying low wages to people who can’t legally complain about it, lower tax revenues from wages being paid off the books to illegal immigrants, unreported crime, etc.
So, let’s have -
Blog postI’m a supporter of the Second Amendment. I believe people have the right to arm themselves for their own protection and as a check against a tyrannical government.
Therefore, I agree with those who say it would be a bad idea to allow the government to have a database of guns and their owners, because that would make gun confiscation significantly easier. And, let’s face it, there are plenty of liberals who would happily ban all guns if the political climate ever shifted enough that th -
Blog postMonths ago, someone asked me what I would do about health care in the United States. My preferred health care policies stand no chance whatsoever of being made into law, but I’m going to explain how I would structure the system if I were in charge.
Warning: Not only is this a long post, but if you want to criticize or argue with anything I’ve said, then you must read not only my whole post, but also every source I link to. If you can’t be bothered to do the reading, I can’t see why I sh -
Blog postI’ve heard a lot of people talking about how many lives have been saved by Obamacare, and how many lives will be lost if it is repealed. So I decided to look at the mortality statistics for the United States before and after passage of the Affordable Care Act. The data for 2009-2014 is taken from the Age-Adjusted Death Rate table on page 22 of this PDF and the data for 2015 comes from the Key Findings on page 1 of this PDF. (I originally started writing this post before the 2015 data came in,

Blog postOn November 4, 2008, I made the following blog post:
Congratulations to President-Elect Obama While I didn’t vote for him, I wish him well in doing what is best for our country.
It was succinct, but heartfelt. No matter who is President, I want them to do what is best for our country.
With that in mind, I post the following:
Congratulations to President-Elect Trump While I didn’t vote for him, I wish him well in doing what is best for our country.
Note -
Blog postObviously, our next President will almost certainly be either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Most likely, that will happen because one or the other won enough states with enough electoral college votes to have at least 270.
And I’ve already discussed the unlikely event that McMullin wins Utah’s six electoral college votes and neither Trump nor Clinton has 270, so the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, which would choose between Trump, Clinton, and McMullin. (T
