Jim C. Hines has composed these verses which I think will tickle you. Indeed, you should visit his site to see the whole of it.
I am the Very Model of a Modern SF Novelist
I am the very model of a modern SF novelist,
I’ve manuscripts space opera, anime, and fantasist,
I know the kings of fandom and the best flamewars historical
From Andrew Burt to LiveJournal, in order categorical;
I’m very well acquainted too, with matters editorial,
I keep my cover letters brief and never too suctorial,
About rejection etiquette I’m teeming with propriety,
With many cheerful facts about your online notoriety,
I’m very good at worldbuilding and proper use of ansibles;
I know the hyphenated names of beings unpronounceable:
In short, in matters space opera, anime, and fantasist,
I am the very model of a modern SF novelist.
*GLEE!!*
We should form a choir to sing that at the next WFC!
Ha! I’ve never had the urge to participate in filking before, but this… this is something special.
Just promise me someone will post an MP3! 🙂
MP3? Heck, I’m hoping we can get a costumed video.
I’m advocating for a duet based on the chorus from Moulin Rouge’s Spectacular-Spectacular!
That’s great!
Very funny, dude. Nice meeting you at readercon. And thanks for the mag!

It was great meeting you, too! I seriously hope that someone winds up recording this because it would be much fun.
