Evil Undead Over Lord- or so I've heard

[Shrain]

Correct. Give this woman a cookie.

It is pronounced "yool" by the way, like the first syllable in "euology."

[charity]

Aw. Thankyou.

-I'll take that- *plucks proffered cookie from your hands*

[CUBAREY]

It is pronounced "yool" by the way, like the first syllable in "euology."

As in Evil Undead Over Lord-time greetings.

I just found an old copy of "Defending Elysium" on my hard drive and read it. I'd pretty much forgotten the story (I remembered the other short story Brandon wrote at the time--the hardboiled technopunk detective one--much better), but it's definitely an enjoyable and creative story. This first draft was about 17,000 words--right on the edge of the novelette/novella definition.

Brandon, if you're checking out the forum, you mentioned sending it to Asimov's--have they or anyone else stateside shown any interest?

[EUOL]

Actually, Ookla, Asimov's did buy the story.  (Huzzah!)  I'm not sure when it will be printed, but we just got contracts and sent them in, so I think we can talk about it being official now.  I trimmed the story down to 15k, and I think it's stronger at that length. 

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Very cool. I'll have to go buy the issue when it comes out.

Did you ever send the other story anywhere? I was thinking that the subject would make a good theme anthology.
