Call out to Authors with novels.
I'm interested, Iove both!
I'm polishing up a fantasyish novel and I'll send it your way perhaps next week? Egads, I'm scared!!! What is the preferred word count?
I will get started right away. As soon as I can see the characters in my mind, I will start. I will aim for 120K on the novel, so I can pare it down to about 90K-100K.
It has been true of every story I write that once I have it written, cutting away words makes it better. I will therefore follow that same idea for my first novel.
In fact, as I am writing this the story is starting to unfold in my mind....

One other thing. We have written a lot of anthologies using short stories and flash fiction. For the sci-fi fantasy library, we could look at publishing a compendium of novellas, stories longer than 10k but not necessarily full length novels.
The novels will need to be atleast 90K.
I would consider a novella collection with stories at 30K.
Hmmm... I think I may be short on word count but as I said, it needs polishing. Yay--a weekend project!!!

I could probably get something polished and to you by the end of the year (sounds like a long time, but it's just a couple of months now). Is that too long to wait? I really want to join in the reindeer games. :)
Got any preferences as far as subgenres? Anything you absolutely don't want to see?
I am very interested, where do I submit a novel. I also have a collection of novellas.
I am the owner of Aurora Wolf Literary Journal, I intend to print a Best of Collection at the beginning of 2010.
Sorry Doc, I'm only a third of the way there. But I am interested. I have to finish my werewolf collection and the sequel to Revolt of the Dead (which is under contract) so I have no idea when I could have my fantasy novel completed by.

You just wish you could live it because I'm young, fabulous and very, very, very gay.

Hmmm. Might take me a little longer to have something for this than I thought.
I'm interested, buy I don't have a finished one yet!

Doc, I'd love to either submit something towards a novella collection or be involved in the reading/editing for it. The novella is a far under-represented length any genre. Maybe three collections? One Fantasy, one SF, one Horror?
(Am I pushing things a bit? <g>)
I have had a fantasy novel in mind for a long time. It would be a long time before I could finish it, but I'm certainly interested!

Hurm. Color me confused. Are you saying you would consider a novella + stories in a collection that topped out at 30k?
Please clarify for those of us with meager math skills.

I have a chum who's written a wicked sci-fi fantasy set on Earth as if all the olde worlde countries still existed (like Prussia). That sounds a little boring but I can assure you it's got a cracking plot I'll tell him that LOSF&F is now open for business!
Color me interested
(in fact one of the two books sitting in the slush pile would probably fit into here nicely, apart from the zombies at the end :))
