Apparently it's been seven months since I even got a notice from Good Reads, so didn't see your response here. Next question: would you consider writing for a shared world SF antho? One where the world has been outlined and much of the details are to be filled in by the authors? And one that has a wiki page where contributing authors can share secondary characters, and flora and fauna on a mostly jungle world?

Abby Goldsmith Are you planning something? Well, let me know!

Admittedly, I prefer my own made-up worlds. I'd write for a shared world anthology if I was reasonably certain that I could expect notoriety from participation, which would likely increase my readership. But I think it would be super fun if other authors and fans wrote in *my* universe!

Hi Abby, Your blog is interesting, but I have difficulty with American accent. Do you have a transcription, please?

Abby Goldsmith I did transcribe some episodes of my vlog, but I can't remember which ones. Sorry--someday, if I get my vlog going again, I'll consider hiring a transcription service.

Danger, danger Will robinson! Does not compute does not compute... No, I am NOT a robot... Would you read a shared world SF anthology?

Abby Goldsmith Ha! Glad to have a real person and not a robot ask me a question. Thanks!

I've read one shared world SF anthology: the first "Wildcards." Although I love superheroes and I'm fan of those authors, that sort of anthology isn't my cup of tea. I prefer novels to short stories, and I value originality and fresh premises. Although I can be a dorky fan-girl about some fictional worlds, I have trouble switching gears to the style of another author's view of that world. I'm one of the few "Wheel of Time" fans who had problems with the Brandon Sanderson finale.
