Hah! That’s an interesting comparison, and thank you for it. If I assign a strangeness value (SV) of 5 to Sunken Land and, say, 8 or 9 to Viriconium, then Thirty days is mainly a 4 with the occasional 6. I am doing very different things. Thank you very much for the offer. I hope I can appeal to a wide range of readers.

Hi Ath, I’d be pleased to read Thirty Days if I’m the kind of reader you’re looking for. My experience of speculative fiction is limited. For instance I loved M John Harrison’s The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again but soon gave up the first novel in his Viriconium series. That tipped too far into fantasy for me.

Feel free to see what other offers…[Read more]

The feeling is mutual.

Marvellous to see you here, Barny. 

Thanks for organising this, Ath.

I really really intend to actually submit something this year.

Writing, Pistol, Serious.

See you in the library.

I’m like John…I always join in the hope I’ll be able to write something. This year’s been a shocker for the novel, so a change of content would be most welcome!

It’s several years since I joined the challenge. Still deep in novels, but I feel it’s time to write another short story.
