Thanks. Glad you liked the ending. Tenth Orbit does seem to polarize a little... Some readers feel that it's too long, and slow, while others are drawn in and fascinated. I have a couple of reviews from earlier publication - one glowing, the other critical. Keeps me amused... Hope to be able to give my own feedback sooner rather than later!

Together-Nowhere was also impresive, the idea of a self-sustaining suit really creeps me out. I wish he wouldn't have killed her though...a freak accident or something like that would have worked better IMHO

Oh and tenth orbit was very nice, a bit too narative at points for my taste but the last few paragraphs were well worth it. Great portraial of an alien mind, I loved the creepy ending.

Wow Camlille, I loved that story. The idea of the buterflies and the dust angels is absolutely gorgeous. At first I was put off by the letter style of the story (seen one too many bad stories formated like that) but you got me sold halfway through. I loved it. The way she writes and the subtle changes in her voice are excelent.

I am just curious...does she die or is she saved?

I got my Desolate Places copy yesterday and have been slowly reading my way through it. I am really enjoying the stories so far, some are very abstract and some are as down to earth as you can get :) a great mix
 
I am surprised no one else (so far) wrote a post apocaliptical story...I was expecting a bunch
 
I didn't even think to see who else from the forum is there but now I will keep an eye out...

Congrats on the great review, "J"!

I recently spotted a pair of familiar names reading Locus's "what's in other magazines" section: http://www.locusmag.com/2008/Magazines01.html

Hint: look under Andromeda Spaceways and Weird Tales.

Also, Justin Stanchfield's story in Ruins was chosen for Dozois' Years Best and nominated for a Nebula. It's true he isn't a very active member, but he did reply to my PM when I congratulated him on the story.

Also Jim Hines is on the editorial team of what lookt to be a tremendously fun antho to be published by CatsCurious Press, and is getting great reviews on his latest book.

...And it seems Brian C. Petroziello is a board member, too.

Okay, I looked under Andromeda Spaceways and didn't see anyone I recognized. Who'd I miss. I did see Michael Boatman listed with Wierd Tales. That was cool :)

That's great to hear, congrats to all involved. Nice to know Richard Horton looks at small press offerings.

Yep!  And Desolate Places (along with other Hadley Rille anthos) already seems to be on his radar:
 
 
He appears to be adding a Space Opera category to his Best Of collections. Interesting...

:) Very cool.

Congtraz to everyone that got mentioned and thanks Camille, for posting this.

Absolutely!  I'm not always sure what everyone's real names are, so I'm bound to have missed people.

Eric T. Reynolds , editor of Hadley Rille Books,  posted on his LJ today that Richard Horton (editor of 2006 & 2007 Year's Best anthologies for Prime Books and writer of "book reviews and columns for the likes of Locus, Black Gate, and Fantasy Magazine") has written a review of a couple Hadley Rille anthos published at the end of 2007.  Sure, yes, he mentions my name specifically (and grants me a new middle initial -- J!  unexpected, but sweet and rather thrilling in an odd way!) but he also mentions in a complimentary light several SFR peeps, including (please please please forgive me if I've missed you and do add your name to this thread!) "nice stuff" from Katherine Shaw (Triangulation: The End of Time), and he claims the best stories from Unparalleled Journeys II to include those from Michael Ehart and Robert Orme.
 
I only skimmed the top few posts, so apologies to anyone I missed.
 
You guys ROCK.
