Hi,
RE Guy Gavriel Kay... have you tried "Lions of Al-Rassam"? That's my favorite for a number of reasons. Fionavar got a bit old, and much of it felt rather juvenile.
The others, aside from Nail Gaiman, I haven't read. I just recently read a Gaiman short story, "Troll Bridge", found in "Smoke and Mirrors." I often prefer short fiction to long, and I deem this to be one of the cleanest and best short stories I have ever read. It joins "Johnny Mnemonic" [Gibson] (the story, NOT the movie), "Neutron Star" [Niven], and maybe also "The Hero as Werwolf" [Gene Wolfe] in my short fiction favorites list.
Different topic:
Would you be interested in lj-friending me? We have a number of lj-friends in common, possibly some real-life ones as well. We have probably met in person, though I am not certain about that.
I saw you write yet another comment on a friend's lj entry (this time, angelbob) and wondered what you write in yours. Sometimes I write things that may be of interest to you in mine, and of course this would be a mutual sort of thing.

Lions is my other favorite of his. I was always sad that he didn't write any more about that story. The Last Light of the Sun, released fairly recently, didn't strike me as nearly as strong.
Sure, and I'm pretty certain we have met, probably via sunyata__.

Whether or not, have a lovely day!
