Seems an impossible task to pick such a creature, but the folks at storySouth are up to it with their Million Writers Award for Fiction. They've narrowed the list to ten finalists, with links to their accompanying stories. If you enjoy reading fiction, this is a good place to spend your next few hours. I'm a big fan of spec fiction, so I'm happy to see Terry Bisson's "Super 8" among the final ten. I'm just as happy to note three of the finalists are regulars at Zoetrope: Alicia Gifford, Jai Clare and Xujun Eberlein.
