And let's not forget all those anthologies edited by Alex Shvartsman.

You ain't lived until, as an editor, you've had to fill some of the anthologies I had to find stories for:
SHAGGY B.E.M. STORIES (1988), ALTERNATE KENNEDYS (1992 -- and crazily enough, we got a couple
of Hugo nominees out of it), ALTERNATE WORLDCONS (1994), GIRLS FOR THE SLIME GOD (1997), and on
and on. wotf007

ALTERNATE KENNEDYS (1992 -- and crazily enough, we got a couple
of Hugo nominees out of it)

The title has me hooked. Is it still in print?

Well, given the proclivities of my companion Long John I decided to start on SUBMERGED. Somewhat to my surprise I'm quite quickly nearly 2000 words in and having a lot of fun. Inevitably a period piece of course; if I write much more high seas fantasy I'm going to have to invent a new name for the subgenre.

What do you think of Brig-punk? wotf015

Considerin' as how a brig is normally a man o' war and us pirates usually sailed converted merchantmen, I don't think that's a good name at all. Anyways, why does everythin' have to be punk? I reckon it should be Pieces of Eight-Track! Ooh arrr!

Three of the anthologies I mentioned are out of print. SHAGGY B.E.M. STORIES is back
in print under a new title: BUG-EYED MONSTERS AND BIMBOS. (The publisher didn't know
what a B.E.M. was.) Anthologies don't live that long. Of the 42 I've edited since 1988, I
think 4 are still available.
