musingaloud | Short Fiction Recommendations

I've been trying to catch up on my short fiction reading. Almost done online. But I'm still 3 issues behind on Realms of Fantasy. (I don't know how that happened!) And oh yikes, and I never finished

j_cheney 's "Iron Shoes!" I don't do well reading on the computer -- too easy to forget about it! Here are some stories I particularly enjoyed reading. Maybe you will, too, if you haven't read them yet.
