http://ellen-datlow.livejournal.com/ Congrats again to Simon B for The Narrows, to Steve Duffy and all. Black Static did well to get two of its writers in - Hergenrader and Kaysen. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.75.25 |
And to Laird Barron and Nicholas Royle. Haven't met or chatted to the rest of the authors. Looking forward to reading it. | ||

Very cool, everyone involved. Nice. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.75.25 |
and congrats to Joe Lansdale of course. | ||

Congrats to everyone, especially RCMBers Laird and Simon B. And that Steve Duffy bloke. Someone should invite him over. | ||

That's a pretty sweet lineup (and one spectacular cover). I'm pretty jealous :-( | ||

I shall mail young Mr Duffy to see if he wants to pop over - looking very good, this - well done Simon. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.70.206 |
Has anyone asked Simon KU over yet? Have you been working on him, SS? | ||
| Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 213.219.8.243 |
I'm chuffed to fucking bits that Simon B made it in there with "The Narrows". A stunning tale. | ||
| Simon Strantzas (Nomis) Username: Nomis Registered: 09-2008 Posted From: 99.225.104.255 |
I haven't, Ally, but Huw is apparently on the case. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.70.206 |
I'll send him a note too. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.70.206 |
Simon just mentioned Huw. I think SKU is on his way... | ||

Very nice line-up - and congrats again, Mr Bestwick! | ||

A terrific line up of authors and cover art that has me drooling. Ye gods, I love Night Shade Books. My sincere congratulations to all. | ||
| Alansjf (Alansjf) Username: Alansjf Registered: 09-2008 Posted From: 94.194.134.45 |
Yeah, I dig that cover too - good on Night Shade for giving the series a home. Quality TOC as well. Quite a few of my favourites from last year (Kaysen, Barron, Royle, Lanagan ...) made the cut, but there's still plenty there I haven't read. | ||

Hi All Made it over! This looks like a great antho - I'll have to get a copy and then get some buggers to sign it... S | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.10.14 |
Great to see you over here Simon! | ||
| Mick Curtis (Mick) Username: Mick Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.177.13.44 |
Welcome Simon - nice to have another 'real' Simon here, as opposed to you-know-who. | ||
| Simon Strantzas (Nomis) Username: Nomis Registered: 09-2008 Posted From: 38.113.181.169 |
Goddamn it all!!!! Unsworth, as previously discussed, you are Simon #3. Again, for those keeping score: Simon 1 - Strantzas (aka Cpt. Awesome) Simon 2 - Bestwick Simon 3 - Unsworth Simon 4 - Avery | ||
| Karim Ghahwagi (Karim) Username: Karim Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 80.163.6.13 |
Well then get yourself a weird name then; like ehh...me - which no one can pronounce- Kawasaki instead of Ghahwagi for example, I've tried in the past. Hello Simon 4- welcome sir! | ||
| Karim Ghahwagi (Karim) Username: Karim Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 80.163.6.13 |
I mean welcome Simon 3! | ||

Ooh, Captain Awesome, eh? Bet you look good in those tights! | ||
| Steve Bacon (Stevebacon) Username: Stevebacon Registered: 09-2008 Posted From: 90.208.112.230 |
Welcome to the new Simon. And just so the old Simons don't feel left out, hello to you three, too. Congratulations to the contributors. It's a stunning lineup. I'm looking forward to this anthology immensely. | ||
| Mark_lynch (Mark_lynch) Username: Mark_lynch Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.171.129.68 |
Captain Awesome's legs don't stand up to tights. Welcome Simon III. Seems there are now as many, if not more, Simons than Marks and Garies on here now... | ||
| Skunsworth (Skunsworth) Username: Skunsworth Registered: 05-2009 Posted From: 88.107.183.235 |
I've met Cpt. Awesome. The tights are not recommended. We Simons are going for world domination - we're hoping to change the planet's name from boring old 'urth' to 'SimonWorld' any day now... S | ||

Oh, buggeration. Unsworth's beaten me to it, as per usual. Hello! Nice to see you, to see you - nice. Does that antho of Ellen's look the business, or what? | ||

Aha, welcome Mr. Duffy. Now that you are here you will never be allowed to leave...unless you bring that weeping spider along with you. Brrr. | ||

| Laird Barron (Laird) Username: Laird Registered: 05-2008 Posted From: 71.212.78.242 |
Thanks, all. I came across Simon Bestwick's story a few weeks ago. "The Narrows is one of my favorites, and is likely among the best in the anthology. | ||
| Steveduffy (Steveduffy) Username: Steveduffy Registered: 05-2009 Posted From: 86.156.195.99 |
Do you like the spider then, Gary? He's a beaut, isn't he? Remind you at all of a certain scene from John Carpenter's THE THING...? | ||
| Steve Bacon (Stevebacon) Username: Stevebacon Registered: 09-2008 Posted From: 90.208.112.230 |
Welcome, Mr Duffy. Nice to see you here. | ||

Hi, Steve. As for this: "Captain Awesome's legs don't stand up to tights" What about that giant codpiece? | ||

Hey, I just sent Simon (#3) a (belated) email in which I mentioned the board again, and, lo and behold, he's here! Welcome aboard, Snakeman! Welcome to Steve, also. Great to have another two awesome writers (and all round good fellows) here....  | ||
| Steveduffy (Steveduffy) Username: Steveduffy Registered: 05-2009 Posted From: 86.156.195.99 |
Huw! How you doing? I'd have been here before, but I was under the understandable misapprehension that you had to be called Simon to get in... | ||
| Mick Curtis (Mick) Username: Mick Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.177.5.57 |
You can sometimes get away with being called Gary... | ||

Steve, I'm doing... well, not so great actually, but I'm trying not to let that stop me from posting and having fun. It's great to see you here (even if you are a Gog!). I hereby propose a limit on the number of Simons and Garys allowed on this board. Can't have them taking over... |
