tanaise: Did you read Sister to the Rain and Heavy Metal?[13:37]
matociquala: Who by?[13:38]
matociquala: I'm thinking more hobgobliny elves than elf princes beloved by all, however.[13:38]
matociquala: Maybe somebody will do a fantasy version of the cliche collection, and I can dust it off then![13:39]
tanaise: Michaels, I think.[13:39]
tanaise: They were actually rather interesting.[13:39]
matociquala: I have missed those[13:40]

stillsostrange: you're not in a band, don't even think about it[13:42]

tanaise: Oh, I'm sorry. It was Cold Iron.[13:42]
tanaise: (which is technically heavy metal. :) [13:43]
tanaise: It's a bit darker than the lackey books. [13:43]
tanaise: plus, sucked less. [13:44]
matociquala: But the fishboy can siiiing.[13:44]
matociquala: I know. I can write elf battle of the bands.[13:44]
matociquala: Loki shows up heading a glam rock band, and the humble hobgoblin has to put together an electric blues quartet to take him on.[13:44]
matociquala: ...yanno.[13:45]
stillsostrange: snerk[13:45]
tanaise: Sister to the Rain was better, I think, but I can't remember the details. [13:45]
hawkwing_lb: hee[13:45]
matociquala: ...yanno.[13:45]
tanaise: (though it didn't have a elf band in it.) [13:45]
matociquala: (I can't believe I'm actually considering this.)[13:45]
hawkwing_lb: it sounds like fun on steroids[13:46]
tanaise: Her elfs are 'charming sociopaths.'[13:46]
matociquala: hee[13:46]
tanaise: which is pretty much the same as a rock star, really.[13:46]
matociquala: yes.[13:46]
hawkwing_lb: or politician[13:47]
hawkwing_lb: ...no, I don't even want to think about elected rockstar elvesIn other news, I learned this morning that Sheila Williams at Asimov's is buying "Tideline," the maudlin postapocalyptic story of a main battle robot and her boy that I read at the KGB bar last month. This is the first time I've sold short fiction to one of the "big three."
It's a good day.
...No elves!...
