VanderMeer's spelling-bee story

John sez, "Earlier this year I edited an anthology called Logorrhea: Good Words Make Good Stories (featuring writers like Michael Moorcock, Hal Duncan, Jeff VanderMeer, Elizabeth Hand, Marly Youmans, and more). The concept was stories based on spelling-bee winning words. Jeff VanderMeer took it upon himself to write a story using not only his own word, but all the words the other contributors used. Now, we've recorded each section of Jeff's story as a podcast and had the contributors post the section of Jeff's story that used the same word that they did on their website so you can listen and read Jeff's story in its entirety online. Not all the contributors have the text on their site yet; where we're waiting for contributors, I've posted the text on my blog." Link (Thanks, John!)

I really must find this anthology-- I know a few bee people who read and write SFF, and it seems like an interesting idea.

It's an incredible anthology, and JeffV's story is probably one of the best pieces of short fiction that he's written. It was a lot of fun recording and producing the vignettes for this podcast (which can be found, btw, at Lies and Little Deaths: A Virtual Anthology).
