Several people have asked me to collate all my stories into some sort of
anthology. I find this flattering - it still surprises me when I get
replies or even PMs about the stories. That's why I keep writing them,
so you've only yourselves to blame.
Anyway, stuck in the house this afternoon, after a brief MUni ride in
the snow, I sat down and used the search function, and identified all
the posts that I think generally fall within the heading of "stories"
or "ride write ups". That excludes technical stuff, arguments about
religion and the death penalty, and brief acerbic comments about my
fellow man.
All copied and pasted onto one Lotus document, they make 179 pages,
although that will edit down considerably, as I have started a new page
for each "story" and there's a lot of white page!
Even scanning quickly through them, rather than reading them properly,
was mind numbing - lots of repetition, as you would expect of reports
of rides along broadly simlar routes over a period of 3 or 4 years.
If there is a demand, I will try to produce an edited document, keeping
the original text as far as possible, but tidying up spellings and
puntuation, and pruning the excessive repetition. The result of this
would be a document with about 50 - 100 pages of text, so quite a big
job for me to do, and for you to read.
Be honest, is the demand there or not?
