SFWA is just as tough in their requirements, which is ridiculous since they grandfathered in everyone who'd been a member before they changed the requirements a number of years ago--even if the grandfathered members hadn't published anything in years.<br /><br />You're 1/3 of the way to SFWA membership for sure, though. I'm still 0/3 of the way there. :)K.C.
