Thanks, that's useful information.
Quote:Regarding getting an OA story published in an SF magazine - Nothing would make us happier
Has anyone succeeded at this yet?
I'll try shipping it to Analog when it's passed its canonicity check, then. I sold them a fact article once; for that, and other reasons, they know who I am. I think my odds of success are reasonably good unless the sexual content is over their threshold.
Quote:About the only 'rule' we have around such a thing would be that an attribution be given to the OA project. Something like 'this story is set in the Orion's Arm universe (www.orionsarm.com)'. Or something like that. We can definitely discuss details if/when things get to that point.
Heh. Already added to the end of the ms: "Note: This story is set in the universe of Orion's Arm, an open-source collaborative worldbuilding project on the web at: http://www.orionsarm.com/" I did not consider this optional; where I come from, which is the open-source software culture, we have very strong norms about correctness and generosity of attribution.
In fact, my next question was going to be whether the OAUP ethos is OK with having the project material described as "open source". I'm fairly sure I've already grokked the right answer to that, but I always consider that politeness requires me to check in these situations.
Thanks for the help.
