Submission, Submission!

...To the tune of "Tradition," of course. Erin had never seen Fiddler on the Roof before so we watched it the other day. Apparently it's based on a novel, which I didn't know; I'll have to check that out.

Anyway, Neil Gaiman mentioned on his twitter feed that there was a call out for papers for a book called "The Mythological Dimensions of Neil Gaiman." It's the second book in a series, the first of which was called "The Mythological Dimensions of Doctor Who." The idea is to look at the implications of Gaiman's work on mythology. The website said that they were looking for papers from published sci-fi/fantasy authors, academics, and all-around fans. Since I have a foot in all three of these camps (Yes, I'm a tripod), I figured that I should give it a shot, and I sent them two different proposals January 1st. Not bad for keeping up my writing-and-publishing resolution. Also, my brother took a look at it for me and we talked about it, so that's a check in another box.

Anyway, the website with the description of the requirements is here if you want to check it out. I don't want to make the editors mad so I'm not going to put my abstracts up until they either a) say that they'd like at least one and they don't have a problem with me posting, or b) they turn me down. It says they'll let people know in March, which is also where I'll here from many of my school applications, so it's an exciting time for us.
