To all Whetstone Contributors,
We received this interesting e-mail from the author Christopher Rowe. Christopher is putting together a list of "currently active" sword and sorcery serialized characters. Many of you have published the adventures of active sword and sorcery serial characters in Whetstone. If so, you might consider contacting Christopher. His contact information can be located on his website (linked below). Here is the e-mail we received:
Dear Editor,
I’m writing to let you know about a webpage I’m building to list all the “currently active” sword and sorcery series characters. You can look at what I’ve got up so far here:
https://swordandsorceryreviews.blogspot.com/p/contemporary-sword-and-sorcery-series.html
What I’m hoping is that you can forward this email to any of your writers who are currently writing series characters, asking that they write me at cvrowe@gmail.com with the following information.
Their byline
The name of the character (or characters in the case of duos or whatever) name
One paragraph about the character—this can be pretty much anything: inspiration, plans, a character bio, whatever
Most importantly, a list of all the stories or novels in which the character has appeared, with links to where those appearances can be read or purchased.
For the last, I want the stories listed in order of publication. And for stories that appeared in collections, I want the individual titles, not just the collection name.
Hopefully this all makes sense, and hopefully we can together build a good resource for the community.
Sincerely,
Christopher Rowe
