I never dreamed, a couple of years ago, when I first started visiting the Analog Forum (www.analogsf.com/discus) that I would be editing a magazine, not to speak of something as strange and outre as Bewildering Stories.
This isn't my first foray into magazine editing. For two years I edited "Messages from S*P*A*C*E", the official journal of the "Seattle Puget-sound Atari Computer Enthusiasts". So I cleaned up a lot of rocky prose, and wrote a bunch of computer articles.
I never planned on THIS happening. I had a dream that perhaps one day I could write book reviews for a national magazine (and get lotsa free books, which by the way still ain't happening...)
But, now, I have a dream that perhaps could also fulfill some other people's dreams. The talked-about BWS anthology is slowly starting to take shape, and the Acquisitions Editor from DoubleDragon Press is willing to take a look at it.
There is many a slip (etc...) so we have no idea how THAT will turn out, but for sure, one way or another, there will be a Bewildering Stories Anthology coming out in a while.
Any suggestions for inclusions, just either send an e-mail or leave a note in one of OUR forums. We'll look at, shrug, and say, "What WERE they thinking?"
