[QUOTE="takyris, post: 2502341, member: 5171"] Dude, and it's on topic and everything! I sold a story to an anthology a few years back, and the anthology turned out to have some pretty big names in it. I was really excited and only a teensy bit ashamed of the fact that I essentially wrote the story out of spite at a guy in my writing group who was acting like a poop-head. This was nice news for me a few years ago, because I got paid, and I got a very nice anthology with my name near the names of really really big people. But it wasn't huge huge news, because the anthology had a run of only 1000 copies, and each copy ran $75, so it wasn't really something you'd ask your buddies to buy as a show of support. I think Cthulhu's Librarian read it, actually, because they had it in his university library, but I could be remembering that wrong... (Okay, my father-in-law bought one. But he's just awesome.) So, fast-forwarding to today, when the editor e-mailed me to ask if my address had changed, because the anthology was being reprinted in much larger quantities, and I was going to be getting more contributor copies. The upshot is: the cute little story that appeared next to a lot of big name people's stories is back for sale, and this time, it's something people might actually be able to afford. And thus, I pimp on ENWorld. :) [url]http://www.neilgaiman.net/single-item-detail.php?id=G1694[/url] [i]Shelf-Life: Fantastic Stories Celebrating Bookstores -- An anthology of science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories, each with a bookstore at its core.
