An apology

Dear Readers,

We have removed the story “Hungry Demigods” by Andrea Tang (November, 2017) from this website and archives after concerns were raised about the work’s originality.
We examined “Hungry Demigods” and its alleged source side-by-side, and found that the story did not meet our requirements as an original work.
We thank the reader who brought this matter to our attention, and we profoundly apologize to the other author, whom we have unknowingly harmed.
Ms. Tang denies any wrongdoing in this matter.

Sincerely,

Rashida J. Smith, editor

and

Ann Leckie, owner
