Thank you, Alex Sutherland, for teaching me such a usefulterm.
MAKING LIGHT: PORTAL FANTASIES, AND CYCLES OF DESIRE Portal fantasies, and cycles of desire Posted by Teresa at 08:04 PM * 309 comments. Over at Dangerous Jam, the LJ of Rachel M. Brown (Rachelmanija), they’re discussing portal fantasies in light of certain remarks made by some unnamed agents in a post that isn’t available to the general public.Which is tiresome; but that’s LiveJournal for you.

The Capitol. The White House. Disneyland. I was across the river, saw it all. Down Fifth, the buildings put it in a frame. Aboard the ferry -- we felt awful small. I didn't look until I felt the flame. The steel turns red, the framework starts to go. Jacks clasp Jills' hands and step onto the sky.DOUBLE DACTYLS
Double dactyls. The rules of the double dactyl are set forth in the classic Jiggery Pokery, ed. Anthony Hecht and John Hollander, Atheneum, 1967. The meter should be obvious from the examples below. The first line is dactylic rhyming nonsense. The second line must be the name of a historic personage.STARLIGHT 2

ELECTROLITE
The business they’re in. Kevin Drum is uncharacteristically snarky to a commenter who said uncomplimentary things about his decision to feature Dan “I’ll be defending the Bush administration’s grand strategy” Drezner on the Washington Monthly’s Political Animal blog. But honestly, it’s hard to see why. I personally read widely outside of blogs and periodicals whose “line” I THE TROUBLE WITH SLEEP I have narcolepsy. Like insomniacs, I spend my life feeling like I’ve just gone days without sleep. In their case it’s warranted: they really haven’t slept. MAKING LIGHT: ROWLING VS. STOUFFER Rowling vs. Stouffer Posted by Teresa at 12:04 PM * You’ll have heard the original news story: How, back in March 2000, American author Nancy Stouffer brought suit against J. K. Rowling and her publishers, claiming that Rowling’s hugely successful Harry Potter plagiarized her own children’s book, The Legend of Rah , and her series of stories about “Larry Potter”, all MAKING LIGHT: HOUSEKEEPING The line becomes fuzzier when we start talking about the news media, which have as a role the dispassionate informer of the people. It is reasonable to argue that news organizations have an obligation to the public, not just to their owners. However, Patrick isn't settinghimself up
MAKING LIGHT: LOW, DISHONEST DECADE The official federal election report for 2016 ( PDF here) says the Census Bureau estimated the US voting-age population at 245.5 million in 2016.

I realize that I’m at risk of turning Making Light into the outlet for a series of appalling Andy Rooney-esque rants against the annoyances of the modern world. This is what happenswhen you get old.

EMAIL US: Teresa and Patrick. OUR WEBLOG: Making Light. Most recent update: 2 MARCH 2018.What we do
We EDIT BOOKS, mostly but not exclusively science fiction and fantasy, for Tor Books , where Patrick is Editor-in-Chief and Teresa is a consulting editor. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of discovering and acquiring the first novels, or in some cases the first adult novels, of some remarkable writers, including but not limited to Maureen F. McHugh, Susan Palwick, Jonathan Lethem, Cory Doctorow, Jo Walton, John Scalzi, Ada Palmer, and Charlie Jane Anders. Among the many books we’re proud to have helped publish are several notable award-winners. Robert Charles Wilson’s _Spin_ , edited by Teresa, won the Hugo Award in 2006, and Jo Walton’s _AmongOthers_ , edited by
Patrick and Teresa, won the Nebula and Hugo Awards in 2012. In 2013, John Scalzi’s _Redshirts_ , edited by Patrick, won the _Locus_ Award and the Hugo Award. In 2014, Charles Stross’s novella “Equoid ,” edited by both of us, won the Hugo for Best Novella, and “WakullaSprings ” by
Andy Duncan and Ellen Klages, edited by Patrick, won the novella World Fantasy Award. In 2017, _All the Birds in the Sky_ by Charlie Jane Anders, co-edited by Patrick and his Tor colleague Miriam Weinberg, won the Nebula Award . We think all of our authors are awesome. In 2007, 2010, and 2013, Patrick himself wonscience
fiction’s Hugo Award for Best Editor, Long Form. He thinks there are a bunch of other editors in the field who deserve similar recognition. Patrick also occasionally ACQUIRES AND EDITS ORIGINAL SHORT FICTION for Tor.com , Tor/Macmillan’s original-fiction-group-blog-art-gallery-public-forum SF ubersite. We also TEACH WRITING. We’re among the regular instructors at Viable Paradise on Martha’s Vineyard. Together and separately we’ve taught at a variety of other workshopsas well.
Patrick OCCASIONALLY EDITS ANTHOLOGIES. The first volume of his_Starlight_
original anthology series won the World Fantasy Award, and individual stories in the series won various Hugo and Nebula awards. Among the many distinguished stories in the three _Starlight_s were the debut appearances of Susanna Clarke and Greg van Eekhout . Wrote _Kirkus:_ “Superior…There hasn’t been an original anthology series so consistently satisfying since Damon Knight’s _Orbit.”_ Patrick also edited the YA-oriented reprint volumes _New__Skies_
and _New_
_Magics_
,
and (with Jane Yolen) _The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasyfor Teens_
.
_VOYA_ called _New Skies_ “the finest collection of SF short stories published specifically for young adult readers in recent memory”; _Locus_ called _New Skies_ and _New Magics_ “a first-rate selection of some of the best short SF and fantasy of recent years”; and _Booklist_ called the _Year’s Best_ a “strong, accessible collection...of real appeal to teen readers.” More recently, Patrick edited, with the late David G. Hartwell, a 250,000-word
reprint anthology of science fiction by writers who came to prominence since the turn of the new century: _Twenty-First Century ScienceFiction_
,
available from Tor, and (in the UK) from Constable & Robinson. A Chinese edition is forthcoming from New Star Press of Beijing. More about _Twenty-First Century Science Fiction_ here.
Patrick also PLAYS GUITAR and sometimes SINGS, most recently in a band called Whisperado , which consists of three New Yorkers who write and play songs about essential American subjects such as bowling, capitalism, and demanding women. Whisperado’s sound has been variously described as “rootsy,” “acceptable,” and “loud.” Whisperado’s debut EP _Some Other Place_ (2006) and followup full-length album _I’m Not the Road_ (2012) can be heard and/or purchased on iTunes, CD Baby, Spotify, and all those other places you crazy digital kids get your music nowadays. Teresa WRITES. In 1994, some of her essays were collected in a volume called _Making Book_ . “Teresa Nielsen Hayden is a bloody good writer.” (—David Langford) A sequel collection, _MAKING CONVERSATION_, was published
in 2016 for the 74th World Science Fiction Covention, MidAmericon II, at which both of us were among the guests of honor. Patrick is unsure how he wound up with a minor career WRITING INTRODUCTIONS to other people’s books, but they’reall

In 2003 the New England Science Fiction Association honored us with their annual Skylark Award , which is basically cool beyond our ability to quite explain. Thank you, NESFA, you rock. Jane Yolen was awarded the Skylark in 1990; here’s the cautionary taleshe now delivers at
every Skylark ceremony. With the help of co-bloggers Avram Grumerand Abi Sutherland
—and in the fond memory of our late co-blogger John M. Ford —we maintain a WEBLOG: Making Light . Check out thecomment sections.
Our last name
—really is Nielsen Hayden, not “Hayden” or “Nielsen-Hayden”. Read about it.Genealogy
Teresa grew up in a culture in which researching one's ancestors is a religious requirement, so naturally it's Patrick that's obsessively interested in the subject. Teresa is very forbearing. The current state of our research is here.
Upcoming travel & appearances We'll both be at Worldcon 76 , August 16-20 in San Jose, California. And as usual we'll both be at Viable Paradise in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, October 21 to 26, 2018, although in slight variation from past practice Patrick will be an "editor-in-residence" rather than one of the eight instructors. The full instructor roster this year will be Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone, Steven Gould, Daryl Gregory, Scott Lynch, Teresa Nielsen Hayden, Nisi Shawl, and Sherwood Smith. Elizabeth Bear and Laura J. Mixon will be Writers-in-Residence.Two interviews
—with Patrick, oneconducted by
Darrell Schweitzer in late 2000, and published in the _Bulletin_ of the Science Fiction Writers of America, and anotherconducted by Ernest
Lilley in 2004 and finally published, suitably updated, in 2007. Lots of out-of-date commentary about the state of SF publishing. A more recent interview —with both of us, in the May 2013 issue of _Locus_, the definitive trade magazine of the science fiction and fantasy field. Not available online, but print or electronic copies can be ordered here.
A few excerpts from it can be read on _Locus_’s site,
and here’s a bit more of it: PNH: “I don’t know how it’s all going to work out, but I’ve always had a sense that the things I am actually good at, which is wading through a lot of stuff and saying, ‘Check this out, this is good’—somebody’s going to be willing to pay for that because I’m pretty good at it. And it cannot be automated.” TNH: “Actually, there’s one way it can be. I find this very interesting. The fanfic universe is a very inventive place, and worth watching because there’s so much of it and they’re so good at teaching one another to write. The quality of top-level fanfic is now well into the publishable range.” PNH: “We’re talking about amateur fiction written in someone else’s universe. I clarify this only because the word ‘fanfic’ has meant so many different things historically.” TNH: “Go to somewhere like Archive Of Our Own, AO3, and what they’ve got are very sophisticated sorting mechanisms. People recommend and bookmark stories, and give each other kudos for good writing, and you can tell the database ‘search for this, this, and that characteristic, and give me the matching stuff with the most hits.’ Personal opinion is variable, but if you get enough people voting for something, the stuff that comes to the top will be good. And since commercial publishers can’t skim off the cream, there’s no limit on how good it can be. There’s an astounding amount of energy and intellectual ferment going on in the fanfic universe.” PNH: “Our competition at Tor isn’t Ace or Del Rey or Simon & Schuster. They’re part of it, but the real competition is all the other things you can do with your time these days instead of reading books, many of which are really high-quality and terrific things to do. The task is staying interesting in the face of all that. Anybody who’s our age—I’m 53 and she’s 56—we were kids and teenagers in the ’60s and ’70s, so we’re the last or second to last generation who can remember being bored kids with nothing to do.” Meanwhile, Teresa may be found —deploying semi-automaticweapons, and
semiotic ones too; also writing pseudonymous afterwords.
