Well, we're a bit of all over the place with our links today. One of the pleasures of clicking around the web is that I never know what I'm going to find.
First up is a big Snoopy dance for all the Million Writer Winners!! And how cool is that to see Eric Beetner and ThugLit on the list!
First Place (Overall winner): "Hospitality" by Summer Block (from Wheelhouse Magazine)Runner Up: "Eros, Philia, Agape" by Rachel Swirsky (from Tor.com)
Honorable mention (third place): "Ditch" by Eric Beetner (PDF download, from Thuglit)
Speaking of ThugLit http://www.thuglit.com/ there's a new issue on the virtual streets. Eight new thug stories by writers Kieran Shea, Marianne Halbert, Jen Conley, Alison Seay and others. Nice to see more female writers cracking the noir market.
Booklife Now has an interview with Bill Pronzini and his wife, Marcia Muller, talking about collaboration. http://booklifenow.com/2010/06/neither-his-nor-hers-bill-pronzini-marcia-muller-on-collaboration/ This is part of a series of interviews with authors who have collaborated, so if you're interested in the process be sure to check back through the posts to read more.
And Electric Velocipede has opened for submissions. This zine is looking for "weird" sci-fic and fantasy stories. They have a list of authors in the guidelines that will clue you in to what they're looking for. They're accepting stories up to 10,000 words but prefer the 3,000 to 6,000 range. There's an online submission form and they pay a penny a word for accepted stories. You can find all the details at http://electricvelocipede.com/htm/sg.htm
