IO9 has nothing to do with SF/F fandom, esp not the literary aspect. They very rarely (if ever) cover the books/magazines, and when they do it's not connected to fandom at all. They're all about television shows, comics and movies. And usually they're promoting shows/movies that are terrible, so it makes me wonder if they're getting a kickback. Ah, don’t kid yourself.

I did try to be as dispassionate about the piece as possible and open the subject up for debate, but for some reason some SF sites seem to think I'm "siding" with the lit-fic point of view on this... nice of you to point out that I do have genre credentials!
