Hmm, yes, well as you observed, sometimes it is impossible to hide your world building, and I find it much the same. Last year was bad enough. This year, it's pretty ridiculous though it's funny -- I've had a couple of readers ask if one story was mine and it wasn't -- they saw some of my influence in it and thought if it wasn't mine, that I had at least beta'd it. At some point, you just can't hide it anymore. I really can't wait to read yours.
