En artikel om framtiden för kortare berättelser (noveller osv), baserad på en
paneldebatt på sistlidna sf-världskongress:
http://io9.com/5833833/how-technology-has-transformed-short-science-fiction-and-fantasy
Rönen i korthet:
"Greater emphasis on electronic editions of print magazines. ...
Passaround is more important than ever. Segal talked about launching "One
Minute Weird Tales," which are basically one-minute video versions of
ultra-short stories which can be posted on Youtube and other sites to let
people share and embed them easily. Meanwhile, Clarke talked about how every
story at Clarkesworld needs to have social media links, like a Stumbleupon
button ...
Free fiction can be monetized Clarke talked a lot about how Clarkesworld
started out as a free website, but has branched out into print anthologies and
podcasts. And now the magazine is doing an ebook edition — which people are
willing to pay for, because "people pay for convenience."...
More novellas. Novellas are notoriously hard to publish because they take up so
much space — but Segal predicted we were about to see "the golden age of
novellas," because it's the perfect length for an ebook. It's much cheaper to
produce a 25,000-30,000 word story than it is to write a novel /"ovellas"
brukar översättas med "kortroman", mellan långnovellen och den vanliga romanen
i längd./
More adventure fiction....
Electronic submission tracking is changing things a lot for writers — but it's
also helping more new writers break in, and increasing the number of
international submissions....
More creative uses of print. Now that books are going electronic, a print book
should have an adventurous format that you couldn't do electronically. Segal
talked about helping Quirk Books to develop a book by Theodora Goss called The
Thorn and the Blossom: A Two-Sided Love Story. Here's how the publisher
describes it: The Thorn and the Blossom is a remarkable literary artifact: You
can open the book in either direction to decide whether you'll first read
Brendan's, or Evelyn's account of the mysterious love affair. Choose a side,
read it like a regular novel-and when you get to the end, you'll find yourself
at a whole new beginning."

Ps. Men framtiden för Pseudonym-Putte-skräp är dyster, eftersom alla makerar
dennes inlägg (pseudo som "O R", "G J " m fl), skickar det till Skräppost, och
snart går alla mail av samma avsändare automatiskt dit.
