I was just curious, how is the collection coming? I'm on pins and needles waiting to find out what stories made the cut...

So far...from what I can glean....

Andrea Lena's picture

...Leona Tolstoy threw a hissy fit when she found out that Wardrobe and Peace wasn't going to be included because of length. Lucy Wallace understood that Bette-Hur couldn't be added because in a way, it is sorta fan-fic, what with the Messiah and all. And Tammy Clancy hasn't gotten back to Erin about The Hunt for Red Organza.

Drea, you are BAD.

The selections have been made, but it isn't my place right now to tell anyone what those were. All the nominations were great stories, but space requirments for the book had to exclude a lot of them, unfortunately. Had we included them all the result would have been kind of like trying to sell an encyclopedia in a really poor neighborhood. We have two volumes planned out and tentative plans for others to follow up.

Stories

As someone whose usual story length starts at about 60,000 words, I have my tub of popcorn out and am watching with disinterested interest.

Future Volumes

We're planning a future volume to feature longer stories, three or four short novels together. :)

Short....

I haven't totted it up, but I think my longest is somewhere over 120k! The shortest (long story) probably about 19k

Hey! I'll have you know

that Andi Burgess wrote The Clockwork Organza long before that Tammy Clancy hussy ever thought of using organza in a drama!

Have you heard from?

Roberta Heinlein about All You Vampires or I Will Fear No Good

Drea Bradbury about The Venusian Chronicles

Or Jaqueline Chalker about any of her stories.

Interestingly both Heinlein stories would fit the subject material and all of Chalkers (I think).

Roberta Anne Heinlein

A comment about her form someone called 'Valentine'? Be 'ee a Stranger in these 'ere Strange parts?

Anyway, how could you discard Jenny Archer's masterwork "Jane and Abel"?

Ah. THAT easily?

Robert Anson Heinlein

I went outside once. The graphics weren' that great.

Indeed!

The old reprobate is sadly missed. I could never agree with everything he said or wrote, but he was an original.
