Maybe this has been mentioned recently, but I don't suppose there is any hope of getting OSC to put Angles back up on the site for a while? I really, really enjoyed that story, but I can't find it anywhere. Perhaps someone could either point me to it or convince an adminicard to put it back on the site for a little while. thanks

Argh!!! I was *sure* that I had that story on my hard drive. But I don't! [Wall Bash]

OSC wrote a book about a geometry shape? Or do you mean Angels?

Sorry . . . I couldn't resist. [Wink]

I hope it does get re-posted. I really enjoy that story.

Actually, it was called "Angles," and it's available in the self-published booklet Doorways (IIRC). That might still be available throught the Hatrack Store . . . I'm not sure. You might want to check there.

It was also published in Science Fiction: The Best of 2002 (eds. Robert Silverberg & Karen Haber). Got a copy sitting right here.

And yeah, it was a great story.

I'm still waiting for the sequel, Saxons.

And the thrilling conclusion, Jutes.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

What is this Jutes you are talking about?

I'm surprised this thread lasted so long without someone making that joke.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

Please explain.

Posted by captainmoriar (Member # 6416) on :

Angles, Saxons, and Jutes...

Germanic peoples who crossed the English Channel (obviously not called that then) to settle on the British Isles.

Here is a quick link I found: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/timelines/britain/inv_sax_jutes.shtml

Go geek humour! [Smile]

O.K. I thought I was all smart until you all refered to your little joke as Greek humor. I don't get it. Why is that Greek humor? I have the sinking feeling that the answer is painfully obvious but I just don't see it.
