   The October 2003 Silver Clitorides Awards Presentation:

   Don't stop me if you've heard this one...

   An Epic Romanticist, a Serial Hedonist, and a Short Story Writer walk
into a bar...

   The bartender says, "What'll it be?" The first author replies, "I'll
have a Tankard of Tolstoi, and keep it coming"

   The second says "A Stein of Dostoevski and don't let it run dry."

   The third writer says, "A shot.  Something...  not sweet.  Set it up.

   The bartender sets up the drinks.  "You're that guy who has a 143
chapter romance novel with dozens and dozens of characters--in
progress--aren't you?"

   The first author nods happily.  "And lots of novelettes while I'm
waiting for inspiration."

   The bartender nods back, and turns to the second.  "You have that
four-book serial series going with dozens and dozens of characters, about
half-done."

   The second author smiles and acknowledges this, happy to have found yet
another fan.  "It contains romance, but it's really more of a 'coming of
age' story."

   The bartender looks down at the third writer.

   "You're the one who writes about a few characters, and finishes them."

   "They had it coming."

   "I meant the stories." She flashed a smile.

   "So, what do the three of you have in common?"
