poll: podcast: short fiction

[truepenny]

[Poll #1523075]

---

Notes:
1. I will read up to 10,000 words. Since only two of these stories are 10,000 words long, that means I'll most likely be reading more than one thing. Vote for as many as you like and don't worry about the math. I'll sort that out on this end. otoh, if there's a specific combination totaling 10,000 words (e.g., "Katabasis: Seraphic Trains" and "Sidhe Tigers") that you want to see, cast a vote for each of the stories and then tell me in comments about the combination you have in mind. People are also welcome to second and third suggested combinations.

[Dear LJ spellchecker: why is "combination" a word and "combinations" not? Please do not make me doubt my sanity in this fashion.]

2. Some stories are not on the list:

• "A Gift of Wings," "The Venebretti Necklace," "The Wall of Clouds," and "The World Without Sleep" are all over 10,000 words.
  
• "After the Dragon" and "White Charles" both have podcasts already ("After the Dragon" here and "White Charles" here), and Podcastle is going to do "A Light in Troy" (and, yes, I will put up the link when they publish it).
  
• "Boojum," "Mongoose," "The Ile of Dogges," my Shadow Unit stories, the piece I wrote for Jeff and Ann VanderMeer's New Weird and ditto Last Drink Bird Head, are all collaborative to one degree or another.

3. For those who are interested in Kyle Murchison Booth, the stories featuring him are: "The Bone Key," "Bringing Helena Back," "Drowning Palmer," "Elegy for a Demon Lover," "The Green Glass Paperweight," "The Inheritance of Barnabas Wilcox," "Listening to Bone," "The Replacement," "Wait for Me," and "The Yellow Dressing Gown."

4. For those who are interested in elisem's jewelry and in the Artist's Challenge idea, the pieces inspired by Elise's work are: "Draco campestris," "Katabasis: Seraphic Trains," "Letter from a Teddy Bear on Veterans' Day," "National Geographic on Assignment: Mermaids of the Old West," "Sidhe Tigers," "Somewhere Beneath Those Waves Was Her Home," "Three Letterse from the Queen of Elfland," and "Under the Beansidhe's Pillow."

5. If you're curious about the origin of my catfish icon, the text is from "National Geographic on Assignment: Mermaids of the Old West."

6. Any other questions you have about the stories, please feel free to ask in comments!

Oh, crud, I forgot to vote for "The Seance at Chisholm End."

I'll add one to its total when I'm doing the math. No sweat.

Ah, I forgot to vote for "Drowning Palmer".


Also, what about that story you posted here for Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day? I think it was called "Sundered"? I really enjoyed that one.

I will add a vote for "Drowning Palmer" when I do the math.

And, yeah, I made an executive decision not to include any of the stories that were ONLY published on my site or blog. Completely arbitrary. Perhaps for the next PSTWD I'll podcast one of those. :)
