I'm still on a diet of short fiction. Since I'm not organised or energetic enough to write about individual stories, it has meant I've deprived myself of the usual fodder here. But I would like to mention the CSFG anthologies. I've acquired a little collection of them now and they have always entertained me. Most recently, I've just finished one from a few years back - Elsewhere edited by Michael Barry. Apart from the whole worth supporting the community aspect, what I really like about these collections is the raw nature of them. Sure that means the quality is a bit variable in places, but there is just a feel of being very close to the authors. Raw fiction straight from the author's brain to my eyes.

Just in case you missed it elsewhere, there is a list of contributors for the next one. I can't wait.

Hi Ross. Now I'm in the right place. That's a really nice thing to say about CSFG anthos. Thanks.

BTW If I don't get to say it later. Have a great Christmas and a wonderful New year. Donna

I indulged my OCD nature and bought a few (as in: not everything I could find) publications which included SJV eligible writers. There's quite a range of publications to choose from.

There are a couple of eligible authors in the next one too.
