I wish to read about writing short stories as well as about reading them. I wish to discover new authors and revisit old favorites. And I imagine some of the stories I choose will be found on the Gilmore Girls Challenge list. Which would likely include some Dorothy Parker who would be a new author for me.<br /><br />Two of my favorite short story writers going back decades are Flannery O'Conner and Joyce Carol Oates. I also remember liking Isaac Bashevis Singer and Jorge Luis Borges. I'm remembering other stories I liked vaguely but without author names or titles attached so I'll leave it at that for now as I go to explore my options.<br /><br />joystory @ gmail.comJoy Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976987581528470589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902749068350117138.post-22794248241777710412010-06-16T02:46:23.611-04:002010-06-16T02:46:23.611-04:00It may be a bit late... but I'm certainly goin...It may be a bit late... but I'm certainly going to jump in on this one.Aeliahttp://aeliareads.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902749068350117138.post-56763039925289927272010-02-21T21:33:36.673-05:002010-02-21T21:33:36.673-05:00All in.All in.cotyledonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16550659466436360969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902749068350117138.post-67293779889142990692010-02-21T21:33:36.674-05:002010-02-21T21:33:36.674-05:00All in.All in.cotyledonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16550659466436360969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902749068350117138.post-71829601834216775412010-02-21T21:33:36.672-05:002010-02-21T21:33:36.672-05:00Count me in please.Count me in please.cotyledonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16550659466436360969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902749068350117138.post-54823818535050053342010-02-21T19:45:56.632-05:002010-02-21T19:45:56.632-05:00I'd love to join this challenge!

Some of my favorite anthologies are collections for science fiction and fantasy stories... I particularly recommend Sharyn November's Firebird anthologies if you like YA SF and fantasy. I'm in the middle of the third one--Firebird Soaring--and it has not disappointed.Dreadful Pennyhttp://dreadfulpenny.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902749068350117138.post-70048551478906920062010-02-05T15:32:55.812-05:002010-02-05T15:32:55.812-05:00I'd like to join too!

I'm participating in another short story challenge, so this may be a bit of killing two birds with one stone, but I hope you'll have me anyway.<br /><br />I will be trying to complete at least 10 short story collections over the year. I've already finished The Green Hills of Earth by Robert A. Heinlein and have read the December 1964 issue of Galaxy magazine. <br /><br />I'll be adding this link to my 2010 challenges at the top of my blog.Carl V.
