The List

SCIFICTION is ending after five and a half years of great fiction. I don't think we should let this go without, at the very least, showing our appreciation for the site and the work Ellen Datlow and so many talented writers have done.

Here's my idea.

By my count there are 350+ stories archived at the site. I'm willing to bet that there are that many SF writers/critics/fans/what have you who have some sort of presence on the web. So I'm thinking, let's all of us write an appreciation of one of the stories.

It doesn't need to be something long--it could be a few paragraphs, or it could be in-depth; it could be a critical analysis or just a reaction to the story. Just something that focuses on the fiction and shows how much impact the site has had. Remember, this is an appreciation. A celebration. Pick a story you love, or discover a new one by reading through the archives. Discover for yourself just what we're losing. Then let's give it the best sendoff possible.

This project is going to be first come, first dibs; whoever comments first below or emails me (comments are emailed to me as well, so I'll know which has come first) will be attached to that story. It would be nice if we all made an effort to find some underappreciated gems rather than dogpiling on the award winners, but if a particular story leapt into your head, go for it. I'll update the list frequently to note which stories have been assigned. If your favorite gets snapped up, I would challenge you to read a story you haven't read before, and hopefully discover a new favorite. That's part of the idea here, to raise the visibility and readership of the site for however long it continues.

If you have questions about how we're going to do this, post them below as well. We'll be figuring this out as we go along.

Once you've written your appreciation, send it to me at snurri2000 @ yahoo.com. I'd appreciate it if folks could insert their own HTML coding if they can, but mostly it's the words we're looking for. I'll post the appreciations here and send you a link, and if you like you can post it on your own site with a link back here. Folks who don't have blogs or other web presences can just send their pieces to me and I'll post them here. I had originally set a late December deadline, but let's drop that. Sign up, and get it to me as soon as you can; if the rest of this year is a mess, wait until early in the new.

Also, as you comment, please leave your full name, so I'll know whose name to attach to the stories.
