Ha ha ha! Actually, don't laugh - Justina Robson wrote a story called 'Legolas Does the Dishes'! No kidding! Hi Mark and Ian, hi everyone. We certainly hope to go to Fantasycon, if only for the Saturday.
Titles, I don't know... The equally flat title 'All About Eve' didn't seem to do the classic film or the goth-rock group any harm, did it? Or, um, Nick Hornsby was it with 'About a Boy'? It was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but no one seemed to get it! I rather like 'Rough Guide to Elfland' but I fear it may be greeted with the same blank reaction! Favourite so far is 'Elfland Awakening'... jury is still out, tho. I feel less bad at my failure to come up with a sufficiently punchy title when no one else can think of one either!
I fancied something Pink Floyd-y like 'Piper at the Gates of Elfland' but it's just... TOOO long!
