Roxanne is in a CE story? Which story and where?
 

Well, if I just told you, it wouldn't be sneaky, would it?

(If no one gets it in a while, I'll reveal the secret.)
 

Oh and this only confirms my comment to you a week or so ago about the comparisons to Moorcock.

I don't recall where the CE characters show up in in the B-C universe though.
 

I think I need a better name for the Bonaventure-Carmody universe (if for no other reason than I've started writing stories set in that universe that *don't* feature a Bonaventure or a Carmody).
 

Well, what about a variation on the name Lou gave your stuff in the TOR post--

The Myriad?, or The Myriad Universe.

Or, although its possibly a bit ungainly, The Myriadverse
 

It's a good suggestion, and one I've considered. (In fact, one of the topic headings in my worldbuilding wiki is simply "The Myriad," and covers all of the crosstime stuff.) I've about decided that it's a little too big of a bucket, though. I'm really looking for a name for the "pulpish science fiction Earth (which is almost but not quite identical to our own) in which the adventures of the Bonaventure and Carmody families (and related characters) take place." The Myriad almost works as an identifying tag, since my particular flavor of multiverse is central to most of the B-C stories, but in the larger sense *all* of my stories fit into the Myriad somewhere. It's really the interconnecting continuity of the worldline featured in Set the Seas on Fire, End of the Century, Book of Secrets, etc (and from which the characters in Paragaea hail, along with Roxanne herself) that I want to specify. In comic book terms, it would be the equivalent of DC's Earth-1 (in the halcyon days before Crisis) or Marvel's Marvel Universe.

I really spend way more time worrying about stuff like this than I should (especially when I should be working...).

And that, unfortunately, reminds me of this brouhaha over the Game of Thrones novels and GRRM's impatient fans. (Disclaimer: I am a fan, but having friends, acquaintances and contacts in the SF writing community, I am sympathetic to Martin rather than the "give us the next book now!" crowd)
 

I'm pretty much with Stross and Scalzi, in terms of their response to the whole thing.
 

There are precious few writers who can afford to mimic Flaubert explicitly, no matter what fans might think!
