Best story in a long time. And best Twabble in even longer. Huzzah!

Sadly, I was not a fan of this story. I really, really loved the previous week (I thought the Shaenon Garrity story was great -- funny (of course), but heartwarming and touching, and the twabble was hit right out of the ballpark, really one of the best ever), and still remember Ramsey Shehadeh's "Cr...

One of the best stories of the year, for sure. And narrated really well. Thanks!

Loved the Twabble. Nothing better than a good poop joke -- except a poop joke with a pun!

OK. Your first two points totally make sense, and I appreciate the info. I've not been an active forum participant, and probably never will be *that* active, but I felt moved to weigh in on this one more to honor Kage Baker's memory than because I was terribly moved by the story itself. Which I gues...

Hm. Why no comments? This was great fun, and makes me miss poor Kage Baker.

As someone who frequently dislikes stories everyone else is raving about, and often because I get hung up on what I perceive to be logical flaws, I have to say I disagree with the above assessments of this story. I thought it was quite wonderful, and I thought the narration was amazing. I also think...

Yes, yes, yes. Almost every week, I love DC, and almost every week I'm sorely disappointed by EP. The last couple of EP stories have been well-nigh unlistenable. On the other hand, EP has the Hugo nominees, and does run some longer stuff that doesn't usually make it onto DB. I really came here, thou...

This is actually one of my favorite short stories of all time -- one that I've read a couple of times. I even bought the collection a few years ago. The rest of the stories in the book are almost as good, though none of them are really in this style -- they're more the Carver-esque norm for contempo...

Oh, I'm so sorry you don't like Frank Key. He's really one of my favorite authors, and I can't get enough of him. Oh well.

Loved this story. It had a strong narrative voice as written, but the reader and the sound production made it even better. This is one of those stories where the point's more the awesome storytelling than any twist ending. I especially loved the realistic portrayal of how community reactions to dom...

I don't know. I loved the other Bear/Monette stories, but this one kind of left me cold. Maybe I'm just sick of zombies (I am), or maybe it was the preachy ending. Or maybe I just listened to the thing in too many pieces. I would love to pick up a little e-collection of all three stories in this uni...

Really loved this story. Best Drabblecast in a while.

I totally need a written copy of that "rejection letter." I've looked at Hearty's site, but he doesn't seem to post his work in written form. Anyone got a copy?

The story wasn't too bad, I guess. I gotta tell you, I am so bored with zombies. This gave the genre at least a glimmer of originality and interest, but it started at such a deficit for me that I could never quite get into it. And Kate Baker's narration was unfortunately her usual monotone. Comments...

I gotta go with Clown Eggs. In fact, I joined the forum just to vote for it! Along with Paul Berger's "The Watching People" on Escape Pod in 2007, Jay Lake's little fable was one of the most memorable stories I've heard in the last couple of years. I really didn't like the Teddy Bear thing or the Di...
