OSC you must must must must do the post- Children of the Mind book before any other books that you want to write. The Ender Wiggin saga was the first science fiction book series I ever read, and the end has been bugging me since I finished it.
Anyways good series though.

You know, there are a lot of us who like stand-alone novels, eva, or who have been eagerly awaiting the sequels to Pastwatch and Enchantment while at least a couple of enderverse books have come out.

I personally want more Worthing or another re-release with ALL of the Worthing stories in it. Capitol is a very hard book to find and that is where a few stories rest.

While reading this last Enderverse book really got my fan-boy juices flowing, I think his stand-alone books tend to be better. I'm much more excited for Magic Streetthan I ever was for Shadow of the Giant.

Personally, I'd prefer that he write, produce, or whathaveyou whatever project he finds most interesting. I'd much rather read or view something by him that was invested with his passion than something that he produced because other people wanted him to.

A sequal to Enchantment? Didn't that one wrap up quite nicely?

I have a vague memory of having read or heard that there was going to be, not precisely a sequel, but a series of books that turn fairy tales into modern fantasies.
However, I think the idea was to have each volume written by a different author.
*googles*
Ok, I think I might be confusing the idea with a series of retold fairy tales released by Tor. (Enchantment was published by DelRey.) So . . . Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

So, suppose we locked him in a cold dark room, tied his leg to a chair, and forced him to write? Whose with me!? *sharpens pitchfork*

I really want to see the COTM sequel too, but i really want to see the SOTG follow up more that OSC was talking about.

i was never more reliably productive than when I was writing on my laptop while our webwright, Scott Allen, drove me to and from Southern Virginia University. I couldn't stand him thinking, "If he's not writing, why am I working these ridiculous hours?" Shame alone made me keep writing for the whole of each three-hour trip, thus resulting in the novel "Rachel and Leah." One of the three novels I wrote in 2004.
I think I deserve two years off from writing after that, don't you?

"Feast for Crows" has taught me how long I can wait for a book.
I think OSC should kick his feet up, drink lemonade in the shade and pressure Geoff to give him grandchildren. Posts: 7600 | Registered: Jan 2001

I also think he should take a year off to play Hearts of Iron II just to see how good a strategist he really is. I invaded England in 1940 and the USA in 1942. The secret is paratroopers! Posts: 1567 | Registered: Oct 2004

Why do i suddenly feel the urge to enter a highly radioactive nuclear chamber and take a fatal dose of radiation, while unscrewing a fireplug from the ground?
Oh, yeah. It's because I've been watching 24.

Now hold on just a minute. OSC didn't say he acted on his urge do engage in risky behavior; he just had the urge. He's MUCH too rational to actually do everything he gets the urge to do. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure he would be playing Civilization II right now instead of posting on Hatrack.

Ah, but why type up a new book, when I can type up postings on this forum? This is MUCH more fun, and doesn't require long-term plotting. Plus, someone else comes up with the other characters' dialogue <grin>.

It was years ago I read the book Lovelock, so I aplogize if I am confused. But wasn't that to be the first in a trilogy, and if so, what ever came of it?

Mwahahaa! OSC is now becoming addicted to his own forum! Serves you right for creating a forum that distracts many of us from writing and other gainful work. Posts: 3141 | Registered: Apr 2000

You have a good point, jenny. I really should be writing a bilbiographic essay that's due tomorrow, but here I am, pointlessly posting my life away Posts: 93 | Registered: Mar 2005

How about a story based on the same basic ideas as Wyrms, only it can be set in a vastly different universe. And there can be an old war hero with his sister, and a living computer program, and...
