Here's a site devoted to octopi in pulp cover art. Magazines like this make me want to write a deliberately seedy, low-brow science fiction adventure . . . and maybe even try to sell it!

I actually do have a piece of SF erotica featuring an alien cephalopod that I wrote online in collaboration with someone many years ago. One of these days I'll have to work on it and see about having it published.

And while we're admiring A. Merrit bookcovers, there's one with a fair maid menaced by a giant frog that I'd like to see about reproducing at cafepress. It's just sublimely good.

Sounds like a mega-bestseller!

Maybe you should serialize it online, if nothing else.

I'll have to think long and hard about how to present it. It might work best in some kind of online format, but the challenge of trying to get it to work in codex form might be a useful exercise too.

It's made up of a number of threads (up to 6 at one point, IIRC), which sometimes weave in and out of each other. We didn't collaborate behind the scenes at all -- each time I visited the forum it was like Christmas morning. A total surprise as to where the story was going, and I'd have to work with whatever my partner had written during the night.

Sounds pretty fun. Anarchic, but fun. :-)
