I just read somewhere about someone selling a second person present novel. "You walk to the car and find a milkjug...."
It sounded odd but interesting.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

But non-fic is different for reasons unknown to me. Vampire People was sold with the proposal, and then I was given x months to finish it by the editor.
Yep. GCS was sold on the proposal, and I had something like 9 months to finish it once I got the offer.
I really need to write up the proposal for the paranormal romance parody I came up with and send it to my agent. I just need to find some time to do that ...

Bright Lights, Big City was the first major instance of that, and caused a lot of stir at the time. It's a lot harder to read, but I think in short pieces it can be sort of interesting.

Anybody interested in beta-ing a short sci-fi story that I co-wrote? My writing partner and I are hoping to submit it to the sci-fi mags, so some feedback would be welcome.
Also, does anyone have any experience with short stories and sci-fi mags?

Wolfram, is it hard sci-fi? Because I'm really not a good judge there.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Wolfram, I'd like to have a look.
