To be fair it'll only be that price for all volumes... as it seems we're going to produce 5 volumes of 6 shorts, it breaks down alright :)

@AngusEcrivain Twenty dollars for a three hundred page book is not an unfair price, I should think. You've got to remember that it's split up between five volumes, so it isn't one hundred all at once. @LadyAstor @lafleurdeverite

Will this be up on Kindle or the ibook store at all?

@JamesDSwinney

I agree James, I think it's quite reasonable actually :)

@TheRobot

Chances are, yes... most likely the volumes will be up on Kindle :)

Super Human SF - Hard SF - Space Opera - NanoPunk - GreenPunk - TransistorPunk - StonePunk - SurprisePunk - PiratePunk - RipPunk.

Oorah!

@Andrew_Mosier ...why would you ever write a story about Bieber?

@lafleurdeverite And science fiction, too... be better as horror, so you could get into all the gruesome details of how she's killed. Ooh, I'd like to read that...

... I knew I'd missed something off the list!

So you may have (or may have not, probably) noticed that there's another 'punk' been added to the list waaaaay back on page one! - DecoPunk -

Decopunk is a recent subset of the Steampunk genre, centered around the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne art styles, and based around the period between the 20s and 50s.

In an interview at CoyoteCon, steampunk author Sara M. Harvey made the distinctions "...shiner than DieselPunk, more like DecoPunk."

DecoPunk is the sleek, shiny very Art Deco version; same time period, but everything is chrome!"

This may well mean that we take Hard SF out of the equation :)

Oorah!

@AngusEcrivain That just made me make up Dadapunk, a genre based on disillusionment art from the end of WWI.

@AgathaChristieLover

I like it! haha!

Now is it me, or are the possibilities quite literally endless?

Reply Report

@AngusEcrivain I believe so...

Have you seen any dada artwork? It's rather haunting.

@AgathaChristieLover

I'm certain that I have at some point... must look it up though to check :)

@AngusEcrivain - don't take Hard SF yet old son, Brian may yet come up with something...

Could you put me down for transistor punk?

I do hope the person who chose Sci-Fi/Fantasy makes a kickass story because when I first saw this I was thinking of Space elves vs Space orcs with medevil weapons, but I had to settle for spacepunk ! :P I still got a good idea though (:

I think this sounds like an awesome idea, all these great sci fi writers together in this. :)
