Daily Science Fiction‘s Editor Jonathan Laden writes with news and stats of the e-zine’s half-anniversary, as well as the line-up of stories for March 2011.
“It has been half a year. Daily Science Fiction has emailed 129 stories to lovers of science fiction and fantasy. Of those stories, 2 have been novelettes, 24 have been short stories of various lengths, 34 have been short shorts, 66 have been flash fiction. Last but not least—except in length—3 drabbles have been sent.
“Themes have ranged from alien souls to robot souls, from haunting by monsters as nefarious as a maid to haunting memories in a vial, from time traps to unicorns trapped. Authors have included winners of the top awards in the field and veteran novelists, as well as first publications and other emerging talents.
“And there is yet more in store. The following stories are scheduled for email distribution in March. Each story will be posted at www.dailysciencefiction.com one week after its exclusive email distribution.”
