Good Fan Fiction
I know that sounds like an oxymoron. MZB was a rarity in the world of authors: she actually encouraged fan fiction, and loved to read the "slush pile".

Typical Darkover anthology. Some good & some very good.
Have read & re-read all of the Darkover books several times. Just finished this book for at least the fourth time. There are only 4 or 5 stories which are up to Ms. Bradleys level, but since she picked them, all are good. Several extend some of Ms. Bradley's books ie. A Lesser Life tells of a time after and puts a happier end to STORMQUEEN.

This anthology contains some good (and some merely passable) stories about unusual uses of laran powers on the planet of Darkover. However, I found the most interesting parts were the introductions to the stories written by MZB, and the insight into her character revealed there. I was especially tickled by the introduction to the entire anthology, in which MZB recounts how a nameless author called her a sellout and she retorted that at least her kid wasn't forced to steal food. Priceless.

There were no clunkers in this batch, and several top-flight stories. Highly recommended.
