The Compeat Flynniana
I spent most of the afternoon straightening out files, in the course of which I produced a list of opi, which I thought to share with you Faithful Reader. Each story is given an opus number when the first page is written. These numbers do not correspond to the order in which they saw print (or not, as the case may be) and some are blank because the story never went anywhere and was either abandoned or is lying in abeyance for a possible make-over. In one case, a story was substantially rewritten twice and wound up with three opus numbers, a practice which I discarded. Also, for some novels where a self-contained chapter was sold as a stand-alone story, it has been designated with a letter suffix. (A couple such chapters that did not sell are not listed.)
Novels and Collections are bold faced. Unless designated Baen or Arc Manor, these were all put out by Tor. Stories are in normal face, with no distinction as to length. Unless designated otherwise, these were all first published by Analog. Non-stories: poems and fact articles are designated.
Story Mosaics are designated by color: Babbage Society, SingerLabs/Nanotech/Neighborhood, Firestar, Irish Pub, Spiral Arm. There are a few minor tie-ins. There is a minor connection between the Irish Pub stories and "Mammy Morgan." Sharon Nagy from Eifelheim is mentioned in "On the High Frontier." Sarah Beaumont and Red Malone from Country of the Blind makes a cameo in Firestar and Ned Dubois' daughter refers in passing to Sarah's dump of the Babbage Society files when she was a kid. Jacinta Rosario from Rogue Star et seq. is mentioned in Up Jim River. It is likely that there are enough whimsical connections between the Babbage Society, Firestar, and Spiral Arm series to make the whole thing inconsistent!!List below the cut
