Here are Daniel Keys Moran's descriptions of the files he contributed
via floppy disk.
o AFTERWRD.ASC is a collection of Afterwards from Emerald Eyes, The Long
Run, and The Last Dancer. All were edited, against my wish, by Bantam.
o BADNEWS.ASC is an article about the genesis of The Ring movie novel-
ization. It was originally written for SFWA Bulletin, but ended up
not being sent to them due to Bantam's unhappiness with the article.
o CONTTIME.94 is a news release explaining the state of the Continuing
Time as of December 1994.
o CORRSPO.ASC is a short story written 6 or 7 years ago by my sister and
me. It's one of the rare short stories I've ever written; and, looking
at it all these years later, it's practically incoherent. I still enjoy
it, though. "Correspondence" takes place on the "Sunset Strip" timeline
shown at the back of "The Last Dancer." There's also a comic strip set
in this universe that my sister and I hope to get back to some day.
o DREAM.ASC is another piece of writing by my sister and me. It was a spec
screenplay for what was at that time our favorite television show,
HBO's "DREAM ON." We never even got past first base with this one --
despite having a high-power Hollywood agent submit it, we never heard back.
We took it as a "no."
o FACE.ASC is "The Face of Night." It was a proposal, originally, for a
graphic novel at DC -- an editor over there was quite interested in it,
but again, no joy.
o GIVEN.ASC is "Given the Game," a short story that originally appeared as
the cover story of Aboriginal SF.
o LONGRUN.ASC is the ASCII of "The Long Run" screenplay.
o LORDNOV.ASC is the ASCII of the prolog and first two chapters of "Lord
November: The Man-Spacething War."
o REALTIME.ASC is the text of the short story "Realtime," which was the
May 1985 cover of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.
