Uncollected Stories

[Ant0105]

I was just wondering if anybody (probably Ms Mod...) would know what the chances are on stories eventually being collected in a book...

The four that spring to mind are Throttle and Ur, which probably will given how recent they are, and The Man with the Belly and The Reploids, both of which have been overlooked/passed over for previous collections (is that a sign that Stephen decided he didn't really like them?)

Thanks

Throttle may eventually end up in a collection as long as Joe is agreeable and I'm guessing UR will, too, but it hasn't been that long since Just After Sunset came out and there aren't currently enough uncollected stories to do another one. The other two are unlikely to be put into a collection because Stephen doesn't think they belong in one.

Ma'am, any chance of revealing Steve's thoughts as to "why" those 2 do not belong in a collection?

I know I am curious...

He doesn't feel the quality of the writing is up to snuff.

ahhh... yes... as he so eloquently repeated, "...kill your darlings..." I appreciate that honesty from him. It's refreshing amongst the author sect.

Wow, didn't know he liked snuff...
