Brilliant. Thanks Seagreen.

Me, please ☺️

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.

Cf. my choice

For me the town is the sticking point, as whatever I go with will necessarily narrow down what kind of story I can write a fair bit. That’s what comes of writing across a range of genres I suppose!

No there is not

I think the choices this year are kinder than they have ever been, really. In there impact on a possible story that is.

I think I’ve suffered more indecision over my choices this time than any previous comp! Ah well. Posted now so will just have to ride the chaos wave…
