[SKRIVA] Två internationella kortnovellprojekt

Min kontakt Sergio i Argentina har länge sysslat med div kortnovellprojekt (ni har sett postningar om det tidigare). Jag fick nyss info om TVÅ sådana projekt, som jag ger info om nedan. Jag antar att bägge är öppna för vem som helst (även om det ena projektet formulerades som en inbjudan bara till mig) bara man skriver på t ex engelska. Det värsta som kan hända är att han inte gillar ett bidrag och säger nej. Observera att det är två olika projekt. Det första tror jag gäller webpublicering, men det andra är tänkt för bokform. Bägge angår ämnet utopier. Jag tror inte man får mer än ära (men hamnar man i boken får man nog ett ex av den iaf!).

  Om du skriver ett bidrag, posta det gärna på listan också!

A few days ago, in my radio column for the Captains of Space program, I
talked about global collapse, climate change, depletion of natural
resources, and natural disasters in speculative fiction.  This has its
equivalents in any fiction about surviving a catastrophe.  For this reason
it occurred to me to propose a special Sinergia named "Setenta veces siete"
(seventy times seven) that would consist of 49 stories of 490 words as an
absolute maximum (no exceptions) and 290 words as absolute minimum.  The
subject is very specific: vignettes, scenes, sketches of disaster (of
whatever type, though ecological would be the preference for this editor)
that include strategies for survival.  That is to say, they should not be
dystopias, but utopias. The trapped find the exit, the cornered escape, the 
oppressed are liberated, the despairing see the light.  We've already had
enough warnings about poorly managing things.  Now we'll propose something.
The name of the series (which I stole not from Argentinean writer Dalmiro
Sáenz, but from Mateo) alludes to the capacity for forgiveness that allows
the Earth to continue to support these infectious, annoying, and hurtful
intruders, the human race. But also the way the human race, in spite of the 
worst conduct possible and the most stupid errors, can find solutions for
its problems.

Stories should be emailed to sergiogvh@xxxxxxxxxxxx .  Only one story is
permitted per writer, and they may be written in Spanish, English, French,
German, Italian, or Portuguese.  The preliminary closing date is September
21, 2007.  If at that point I haven't accepted 49 stories, I'll see about
extending the deadline, but if I have them, the special issue will remain
closed.

I would like much that you participate.

Saludos.

I invite you to take part in a project which consists in publishing 100
short stories of 1500 characters (about 250 words) from 100 authors from
the whole world in a book which will appear next summer in Argentina.
Each story must present the realization of some utopy, social or
individual, or imply a success, artistic, scientific, éthical,
philosophical, human... That it's, in synthesis, the realization of a
positive fact. The book will be for Ediciones Desde la Gente. Deadline
is the 30th of september, 2007.
Send works to sergiogvh@xxxxxxxxxxxx if you want to participate.

Saludos.
