Short Story 11: Trip, Trap

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Also, are you sure it was published in "If"? If so, which issue? The ISFDB says it was first published in _Orbit 2_ and doesn't list "If" at all for this story. The ISFDB could be wrong, of course.
