#WordWeavers 03 August: Is there a genre you haven’t written yet but would like to try?
Years ago, on the old FS&F forum, someone asked John Joseph Adams what he was looking for in a story.
He said he didn't get enough near future exploration of the solar system, uplifted animals, and skyhook stories.
I posted that my next story submission would be Combat Cheerleaders of Mars Versus the Uplifted Animals, and the Winner gets the Skyhook.
My next rejection included a hand-written note:
