Let me tell you a story.
A few years ago, after my first story had been published, I figured I'd better join a writers group, so I found a local one attached to the Infinitas Bookshop.
Once I was on their email list, I found that everyone was talking about writing "their daikaiju story". Sounded like fun, so I looked up the word (giant monsters, like Kong or Godzilla) and knocked one up.
Then I found out there was a point to it: somebody was putting together an anthology of giant monsters stories. So I sent in my little tale, and was juuuuuust rejected (there were two editors, one loved it and one didn't). But there were so many high-quality stories that they decided to make more anthos, using the same pool of stories.
After a couple of years I kinda forgot about it, but at long long last, Daikaiju!3: Giant Monsters Versus the World is starting to loom, featuring my story Cream of the Cop.
No more details apart from that yet, but it's being put togther by Rob Hood, who is a man obsessed with all things big and stompy, and promises to have killer art like the last two.
