People seem to be taking me up on this in comments, so I shall track it here!

First five people to reply with a prompt get comment fic; any prompts past that may or may not get a response.

Caveat: your prompt must be centered around one of my established universes (see the field guide if you need a refresher). As always, I reserve the right to punt if I can't think of anything, and trying to specifically play stump-the- ( Read more... )

The November 1948 issue of Astounding Science Fiction (now Analog), under the aegis of John W. Campbell, Jr, contained a LoC about the stories in the issue -- with one catch; the letter-writer had written in praising the stories from the November 1949 issue, complete with table of contents containing story titles and authors. All of the authors ( Read more... )

Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change -- something tiny or big -- and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story.

So, a meme, stolen from everywhere:

Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you one thing I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing the story that didn't make ( Read more... )

I love doing this. I, uh, got a little carried away with the favorite-lines bit. Okay, a lot carried away. But this is pretty much the only time of the year when I can point at all the things I've written and go "eeee, look!" and not feel like I'm tooting my own horn, so ...

First sentences, last 20 stories, yadda. (I'm cutting out the Mezzanine stories, since those are often not my first lines.)

( it's pretty, but is it Art? )

As always when I do these, I make no promises (sometimes I do them, sometimes I don't, sometimes I do them out of order, sometimes I only do one or two, etc), but: I'm feeling vaguely stuck in a rut these days (and I mean, it's a nice rut, quite enjoyable, but still) and I think it's probably a good idea to try to kick myself out of it ( Read more... )

Stolen from cofax7, who stole from yahtzee63: Quote a bit of my fic at me? Find that one story of mine that you really like, and find a sentence or a paragraph that presses your prose-buttons in the right way, and comment here with it? Don't care how long or short.

In other news, the next segment of Broken Wings is with ivorygates for beta, and she and I are beginning to ( Read more... )
