Sam Friesner, Editor
The Interplanetary Tattler
10 Asimov Avenue LunaDear Sir:
Allow me to introduce myself. I represent the twelfth generation of free-lance writer in my family, dating back to the fabled Mike Resnick of the late 20th century. I have long been an admirer of your fearless yet entertaining no-holds-barred brand of journalism, and I think I have finally come up with a story so unique, so bizarre, so positively outre that it will prove the beginning of a long and happy relationship between us. Would you be interested in an interview, with holographs, of Boris Korchev, the three-headed shortstop of the Ganymede Geldings? I could let you have an exclusive for 5,000 credits. Cordially yours,
Melvin Resnick
666 Glory Road
Heinlein City
Ganymede * * * * November 15, 2331Dear Mr. Resnick: Thank you for your interest in our newspaper, but I suspect you've been out of touch with it for some time now, or you would know that we ran a feature last June on the New York Yankees' Fourteen-Headed Infield, including an exclusive interview with Wilbur "Ten-Eyes" Plitkin. If you come across any truly unique features in the future, please keep us in mind. Yours, Sam Friesner, Editor The Interplanetary Tattler PS--I can find no historical reference to a 20th Century writer named Mike Resnick. In point of fact, the major literary figure of the 1990s was my own ancestor, the still-beloved Esther Friesner.
