My favourite above all was ‘Inksucker” by Aidan Doyle. I loved this one so much I wanted to hug it. Some sentences were gorgeous gems, a delight to read and really good to see someone playing with language, and showing how much fun writing, and stories, can be. I would love to read more short stories in this world!
Strange Horizons Sale
by Aidan on May.26, 2010, under My Writing, Writing
Got some good news today.
Just sold a short story to Strange Horizons.
It was my first acceptance by Strange Horizons after submitting 11 stories to them over the years. So persistence does pay off!
And it’s my third SFWA-level professional short story sale.
The Duke of Vertumn’s Fingerling
by Aidan on Apr.06, 2010, under Writing
Strange Horizons has a story by Elizabeth Carroll, one of my Clarion South writing buddies.
She workshopped the story at Clarion in week 5. It was interesting for me to see how the revised story turned out.
Assassins, magic and monkeys! What’s not to love?
