Mike:

Thanks for the compliment on the web site. We are restyling it, hope
everyone likes the new version, set to go live in early June.

Funny thing about the subject line -- when it first caught my eye, I
thought someone was going to comment on one of our regular customers,
Jerry Hewett, who is a Vance scholar. :)

Pax,

Maryelizabeth

Hello,

Sorry to ask this when I know someone posted about it not long
ago....somehow, I didn't save that message.  How do I search the archives
of this list?  Is there a different way of searching for BDG discussions?

Thanks

Has anyone else found RM Meluch to be as totally wonderful as I have?  Her
most overtly feminist work is "The Queen's Squadron" but the punchline to
"Sovereign"is an amusing piece of stealth feminism.

     Send mail to listserv@listserv.uic.edu with the body:

search FEMINISTSF keyword

>Is there a different way of searching for BDG discussions?

SEArch       listname word1 <word2 <...>>      Search list archives

     In other words, the message body should be something like:

search FEMINISTSF Jael where subject contains BDG

That's easy. Unless one speedreads (a mercy in some published product, it's
true) or only reads the labelled-SF output (and perhaps discards the
media/game-related materials), one can't keep up with everything.  I don't
like to speedread fiction, and I certainly read a fair amount more than
solely fantastic fiction.  So that'll have to be people slightly unlike me.

She had a good story in the second (I believe it was) Susanna Sturgis
anthology for Crossing Press, the one after MEMORIES AND VISIONS...damned if
I can remember the title of the second book, nor do I know if it's in print,
or if Meluch has published a short story collection (or enough short stories
to make a collection sensible).

Besides searching the listserve archives - as Syela has described -
you can also read up the BDG discussions at the BDG website
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Comet/1304/

More specific, the list of discussion archives is at
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Comet/1304/bdg_archives.html

So far, the discussions from March 1998 (Ammonite) to March 1999
(A Fisherman of the Inland Sea) can be found there.

The BDG website offers furthermore
- the books scheduled for discussion
- the discussion and selection rules
- the nomination lists from October 1998 and February 1999.

Thanks! For those who haven't seen them yet, the three Susanna Sturgis
anthologies for Crossing are definitely worth seeking out.  Crossing did a
remarkably bad job of packaging the third one, and I wonder if Sturgis is
doing books for someone else currently...
