ETA: I also emailed my editor to ask if she had a preference between the first two ideas on the list.

Poll My Next Proposal

The first would be a sequel, but some of it might be dependent on my revision letter for the first book.

I have more notes for the ww proposal; though I do have notes for the Western sans steampunk, so I wouldn't be starting totally from scratch, only when it came to the steampunk part. Since the cowboys are based loosely on sf characters, it's actually pretty funny if one of them invents a computer.

Heh. They can be Jim and Artie AND Avon and Vila!

I am demonstrably viviparous, but not unavoidably so.

I don't get a chance to comment often, but I think it's utterly cool that your writing career is ticking along like this. Kinda proud of you, not that I have anything to do with it.

I wish I saw you more often! You can in fact be proud--you were one of the people who nurtured me, back in the B7 days.

Was very amused to see your vote for the steampunk cowboys, since they are essentially Avon and Vila, only less criminal. (It would be a steampunk rework of "The Magnificent Threesome.")

I really enjoyed Ginn Hale's WICKED GENTLEMEN--it was small press, with some non-explicit m/m. The worldbuilding is a lot of fun.

I also like Emma Holly's THE DEMON'S DAUGHTER, though the book has a very unfinished feel to it. She's done a couple of sequels in that world.

Phil Foglio's comic GIRL GENIUS is online for free.

For the classics, there's a Wikipedia entry with tons of titles. THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE is probably the most iconic.

Please no telepaths! I think they're at that point where they've been used enough to seem tacky but not used enough to be a genre.

I personally think that anything WWI should have a guest appearance by Gertrude Bell and/or T.E. Lawrence, but that's just me...

*has sudden mental image of Gertrude Bell and T.E. Lawrence doing Naughty Things together*

And are you going to share it?
