When I write (I just write for fun and save it on my computer) I like to base them on Ender's Game and Halo. They are such large universes that could be explored even further. I enjoy creating my own stories with the main character and also giving another perspective. It is fun.

Yes it all sounds good but when you take out the Editor and all that goes into a published work... you end up with a lot of crap the discriminating reader must weed through before you find a gem. These gems where once easy to find in the mags OSC talks about... what happens when those print mags all disappear?

the future of science fiction writing? online! online zines for short stories and writer/reader interactions, print-on-demand books for novelists who can't get anything published by mainline houses...who's ability to publish ANYBODY OR ANYTHING is rapidly diminishing.
i think this is all actually a good thing. we're going to see an explosion of new ideas, new literary experiments, new writers. and hell, there will always be SOME readers...
i, for one, am quite optimistic.

I love and respect Mr. Card, however he is missing one component.
We are living the future!
What he wants is from the past.
The internet has changed things, especially science fiction.

Indeed. OSC has written some beautiful stuff. 'The Worthing Chronicle' is the best thing I have ever read.
A great writer. I wish his religion wasn't so creepy.

They have to include writing on the internet in their analysis. I think even if printed publications decline in number, internet publications will increase. And it makes sense, since it's cheaper and you can reach a larger audience. So I don't think this represents a death-knell for the sci-fi short, just a change in distribution.

Orson is awesome. I hope that short SF doesn't die out...some of the best and coolest SF is in short story format.
