This list was originally posted September 24, 2005. I debated whether to put it here or in The Serial Box<\/a>, but eventually decided on here; the Box is only for new stuff, not these salvaged old posts.<\/p>\n

I’m going to annotate this in italics<\/i> — anything italicized has been added in March 2017. Anything after this sentence that’s not<\/i> italicized is from 2005.<\/p>\n

Sorted a little:<\/p>\n

Mystery:
\n>A Blast from the Past
\n(Haven’t touched this in years, and the plot’s a little out of date now.)<\/i><\/p>\n

Fantasy:
\n\tTraditional:
\n>A Handful of Gold (spin-off from The Lords of Dus)
\n>Assassin in Waiting (I’ve worked on this one a little.)<\/i>
\n>Manda’s Magic
\n>Meant for Each Other
\n>Power of the People (I don’t recognize this at all; no idea what it is.)<\/i>
\n>Putting on Heirs (sequel to Split Heirs)
\n>Rain
\n>The Dragon’s Price (This one has gotten a little further.)<\/i>
\n>The Third Mage (a trilogy, really) (I’ve changed the setting to a contemporary setting and started it over.)<\/i>
\n\tUrban:
\n>Myth America
\n>The Gates of Faerie
\n>Yard Sale Mystic (This one got converted to a comic book script, and has been hanging fire for years because the artist has yet to start on it.)<\/i><\/p>\n

Science fiction:
\n>Cultural Attache (Retitled first The Partial Observer<\/b>, then The Research Agent<\/b>.)<\/i>
\n>Dark Bodies
\n>Earthright
\n>Escort Duty
\n>Fast Times
\n>One Hundred Suns
\n>Realms of Light (sequel to Nightside City) Written and published.<\/i>
\n>Refugee Planet
\n>Technoplague
\n>The Ghost Takers
\n>The Terran Zone
\n>The Three of Us
\n>Trumpets of the Sky<\/p>\n

Western:
\n>Jones and the Preacher<\/p>\n

Horror:
\n>One-Eyed Jack Written and published.<\/i>
\n>Queen Vampire
\n>Something Wrong
\n>The Bride
\n>The Undine<\/p>\n

Romance:
\n>Rakehell’s Daughter<\/p>\n

Historical:
\n>SPQR<\/p>\n

Hard to classify:
\n>Pentagram Squadron
\n>Triumvirate
\n>Vika’s Avenger Written and published.<\/i><\/p>\n

Y’know, I’d really like to write all of these eventually, but I
\nprobably won’t — I come up with new ones faster than I finish the old
\nones.<\/p>\n

I’ve come up with many more, and made progress on a few of the above, but I’ve also flat-out forgotten or abandoned some of these.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
