GURPS-related story accepted for anthology

I confess this is only peripherally GURPS-related. But a science fiction story set in a galaxy I created and have run in GURPS was just accepted. Called "Orange Sun, Grey Sky," it is planned to appear in a science fiction/fantasy/horror anthology.

While the Galaxy was largely built before I ran it in GURPS, I used GURPS Space as a resource.

Congrats! I'd love to see more GURPS-related fiction, especially the big settings like Banestorm and Transhuman Space, but this is great too.

Well, GRR Martin was famously a GURPS GM so let me be the first to congratulate you on your 8-year HBO adaption! :-P

Genuinely - congratulations! :-)

I'm not as familiar with Transhuman Space, but I've thought for a long time Banestorm (particularly Tredroy as in the 3rd edition book) would be an excellent setting for a novel. I have some ideas for such a thing, but it would of course require licensing from SJGames. It would be great publicity for GURPS, though (assuming, of course, the novel's good).

The closest I've gotten so far to HBO was being head writer of a university student-produced English language telenovela under Saul Landau. But if HBO offers me a million dollars for the rights to one of my stories, I just might consider it.
