I had one of those "Oh Shit" moments at the library the other day. I ran across a Holly Lisle book in the romance section.
I was surprised.
I didn't know that she had anything in print. I read the novel, and found it to be a nice tense romantic suspence.
When I looked I was able to find four titles with her by line. The one that gave me the "Oh Shit" moment was the one co-written with Zimmer-Bradley. To say I was taken aback would be an understatement. The mental dominoes fell and a pattern was revealed, Forward Motion is a direct offshoot of the Darkover fan fiction "fanomina."
Which explains many things. I understand the 'whys' of the site. Why the majority of the writers are fantasy writers. Why the site was put up in the first place.
My hat is off to the departed great lady for the opportunities she had provided, and the 'pay it forward' legacy that still exists.
I will forever see Forward Motion in a different light.
