pameladlloyd: Alya, an original character by Ian L. Powell (bluejay jewel collection)
I recently encountered the online magazine Coyote Wild, due to mentions in the journals of people on my flist. The most recent issue had a YA focus and was edited by [livejournal.com profile] sartorias, with the help of a reading panel composed of teens. Many of the authors are on LiveJournal. I'm listing all the connections I know, although I'm only giving out RL names if they're listed in the profile, obvious, or if I'm otherwise aware of an online admission of identity (which surprisingly turns out to be almost everyone in the issue). I'll start by mentioning [livejournal.com profile] janni (Janni Lee Simner) and [livejournal.com profile] asakiyume (who admits she wrote "The Oracle," but doesn't give her name directly). Via [livejournal.com profile] janni, I am able to add [livejournal.com profile] jeffsoesbe (Jeff Soesbe), [livejournal.com profile] jimhines (Jim C. Hines), [livejournal.com profile] mistful (Sarah Rees Brennan), [livejournal.com profile] rhinemouse (who admits to the story "I Have Heard the Angels Singing, Each to Each", which is a sequel to a prior story, City of Angels also published in Coyote Wild), and [livejournal.com profile] shweta_narayan (Shweta Narayan), and via [livejournal.com profile] asakiyume, I can also add: [livejournal.com profile] alanajoli (Alana Joli Abbott), [livejournal.com profile] faerie_writer (Maggie L. Wood), [livejournal.com profile] fairmer (Merrie Haskell), and [livejournal.com profile] drachin8 (Michelle Muenzler).* Whoosh! That's a lot of LJers. *g* So far as I can tell, the remaining authors aren't on LJ, but if you know differently, and you can share without spilling secret identities, please feel free to chime in.

I really enjoyed this issue, which had a YA focus, and recommend that you drop by and read as many stories as you can manage to find time for if you haven't already. I've also been checking out a few of Coyote Wild's other offerings. Tucked away on their blog, I found links to three stories that received Honorable Mentions for The Year's Best Science Fiction for 2007: The Ladies by Elizabeth Bear ([livejournal.com profile] matociquala), Marsdog by Beth Bernobich ([livejournal.com profile] beth_bernobich), and The King of Elfland's Stepdaughter, by Barbara Gordon (who has a blog, Bibliographic Searcher, wherein she mentions LJ, but doesn't share her user name). I loved all of these stories; they were all great and very different from each other.

* If I goofed and listed your name or other identifying information that you don't want listed here, please let me know and I'll make it go away very, very fast.

ETA: Barbara Gordon is [livejournal.com profile] bmlg.
