- I thought this SciFi story of one possible future was very well done and thought provoking! (Lili Pintea-Reed, feministjournal.com)
- This online novel has become a cult hit... much better than the Buffy lesbian stories... (All Night Surfing)
- The other night on being asked... "What do you think will be the most amazing thing you'll see in your lifetime?" ...things will pass us up. We won't understand them anymore, or the way people are. It will be people and how they act, and how they are. They'll be so "continuous partial attention" that we won't get their art, or what it is that they're doing that has meaning or how it's productive. They'll be like... Have you read Gormglaith? ...You would not quite understand it as a novel but danah boyd would. (Badger Hemulen, badgerbag)
