    <content type="html">Okay, yes, I admit it: I have a lot of deadlines right now, I have a &lt;i&gt;lot&lt;/i&gt; of editing that's nibbling at me like a flock of wild ducks, and playing literary cage match is currently my guilty "sometimes it's okay to be crazy-silly" pleasure.  Thanks to everyone who's been tolerating my crazy; double thanks to everyone who's been helping me with it.  And now, today's cage match updates:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over in the &lt;a href="http://www.bscreview.com/2010/02/fourth-annual-bscreview-book-tournament-announcement/"&gt;Fourth Annual BSC Review Tournament&lt;/a&gt;, Toby has managed to make it to round three.  So far, she's defeated both Butcher's &lt;i&gt;Turn Coat&lt;/i&gt; and Brett's &lt;i&gt;The Warded Man&lt;/i&gt;...but now she's &lt;a href="http://www.bscreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=93&amp;amp;t=8029"&gt;going up against Juliet Marillier's &lt;i&gt;Heart's Blood&lt;/i&gt;, and the race remains too close to call.&lt;/a&gt;  Rally!  Help Toby progress!  Especially since &lt;span  class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-P     "  data-ljuser="catvalente" lj:user="catvalente" &gt;&lt;a href="http://catvalente.livejournal.com/profile"  target="_self"  class="i-ljuser-profile" &gt;&lt;img  class="i-ljuser-userhead"  src="http://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.svg?v=17080?v=158.1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://catvalente.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username"   target="_self"   &gt;&lt;b&gt;catvalente&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'s &lt;i&gt;Palimpsest&lt;/i&gt; is still swinging (&lt;a href="http://www.bscreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=93&amp;amp;t=8028"&gt;currently against &lt;i&gt;The Red Wolf Conspiracy&lt;/i&gt; by Robert V. S. Redick&lt;/a&gt;), and there's a wacky bonus comic strip in it for you if we wind up facing off in the final round.  Pretty please?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/chickfight/7718.html"&gt;Meanwhile, over in the GIRL FIGHT TONIGHT&lt;/a&gt;, Toby has made it to the Elite Eight, and needs only to smack down Hunter from &lt;i&gt;Neverwhere&lt;/i&gt; to make a clean sweep of her bracket!  Woo!  From here, the winner goes up against the winners of other brackets, which means she'd have the opportunity to get beat down by a Discworld girl.  You know you want to see that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go forth, vote, and keep Toby kicking ass!</content>
