Deb, insent.
Allyson, what is that from? Did I miss it earlier in the thread?
She just... she just did the math.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's from erika's story.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Guilty as charged, Allyson.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I cannot think of a single "fateful" encounter with a person that I recognized at the time, nor one I remember so clearly that I can describe it later.
Jeez, really? I assume every encounter I have is potentially fateful, at the very least heavily impactive, and then I weed them out later.
I love my memories. I keep them polished and shining and very very sharp. They make me happy, or miserable, but they never bore me and they never let me go hungry.

More of a longer, prose-poem fusion thing. I'm putting out a new chapbook in January or so, tentatively called "InBetween Days," and whatever the final product is will end up there.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay. That would make me sufficiently happy.

Victor, I absolutely love what I've read so far.
Deb! FFoSM arrived today! I'm glad to see that there are reviews for Plainsong and Eyes in the Fire on the back; maybe that will spur reprints.

I am very very pleased.
I've been asked to participate in a short story anthology series project, agent-repped, which has already drawn bigtime interest from eight - count 'em, eight - mainstream publishing houses.
The theme is a series of short story anthologies, each taking one famous musician-songwriter, and offering up a collection of individual stories based on a given song. I'm submitting one for the official proposal (the artist for that is Johnny Cash), for "Long Black Veil". I think I'm'a gonna do me a really nifty ghost story.
