You have multiple entries for Space-Accountant and Stranded that could be grouped. Also, wow, that’s a lot of stories. Would any of these be suitable for anthology submissions?
Thanks, will fix. Hrrm. Probably not on their own, but as seeds, perhaps.
Even the stand-alones? Made of Words, or Gift-Wife, or The Truth and Hair-Pieces, or The Fairy Road — those tell sufficiently complete stories, I think, with no outside context needed. Or even Myrrh, which doesn’t require any of the world backstory even though it fits into it.
Hrrm. You do have a point. They’re rather short, but I could look for markets that take short fic.
I have been wondering when you’d use your shorts to submit various places – it is a logical allocation of resources.
The problems are often: (a) some places won’t take previously-published stuff. (b) the length on my shorts is, well, tiny. Short.
Does it count as previously published if it’s acl’d?
*cough* hrrmm…. http://www.grumpsjournal.com/subs.html
!!! Hmm, none of those are about bugs, but … Going to polish up the bug invasion series?
That’s what I was thinking, yes!
Clearly we need to sneak some insect prompts into the Aunt series. Spiders (and spider silk, and cobwebs) are important atmospheric components of that sort of old house full of family artifacts, right? Or books to rescue from bookworms. Or something about silk production … Actually, you just wrote one about someone in the faeapoc ‘verse with an insect-y
changepower. Could that be coaxed into standing on its own two feet? It’d probably need some filling-out.I thought about it, but I’m worried it’s too setting-dependent.
As it stands, yes. I’m not sure how much revision it would need to stand by itself — either stripping out the overly-specific stuff, or adding supporting material — and whether it would still fit into its original universe if you did the former. The core, though, of getting a warning from critters most people can’t understand and are disinclined to believe you can hear, is a pretty straight-up classic fairy tale trope, put into a modern setting.
Hrrrm…. I might try!!
