And on the twelfth day of ChristmaSFF…

“… my android gave to me
Twelve alternate futures
Eleven starships shooting
Ten slayers slaying
Nine LARPers LARPing
Eight lemmings laughing
Seven heroes hunting
Six planets plotting
Five throwing stars
Four entangled qubits
Three diff’rence engines
Two uploaded humans and
A monolith on a dead moon.”

Science Fiction and Fantasy Novelists

Via Charlie Stross’ journal, I found out about a group blog called www.sfnovelists.com. It features an impressive list of contributors, many of them Orbit authors — including Daniel Abraham, Kate Elliott, Tanya Huff, Charles Stross and Sean Williams (all published by Orbit UK); Karin Lowachee (published by Orbit US); and Marie Brennan and Karen Miller (published by both Orbit UK and Orbit US).
