At the R-SPEC meeting tonight (in which Craig lead a great discussion of the short fiction nominated for the Hugo Award), I asked the assembled people for more ideas for a second antho project. The one idea that has gained significant traction is doing alternate Rochesters, that is, stories set in a Rochester that is different because of a significant event that didn't happen (say - maybe there was no Kodak here, or trucks don't take over freight transportation so trains and boats still carry our stuff) or because of something different that did happen (an asteroid hit Lake Ontario in 1972 and vaporized it). Basically, "What if--- in Rochester?" Kim suggested two other ideas - perhaps an antho with stories that center around an alternate folklore of the area or one about inventions that had failed.
What do you think guys? Any other ideas out there?
