The year 1965 is special for me: that’s when I made my first science-fiction sale. In the next few years I sold a number of stories. My ideal length was around twelve thousand words. Shorter than that wasn’t enough space to make the point of the story, and with longer stories, I had trouble coordinating characters and detail. Eventually, I became comfortable with novel-length stories. Most of my short fiction has been anthologized, stories scattered through many books: orphans moving from home to home. Publishers are reluctant to do one-author collections—with happy exceptions, such as the Baen collections in the 1980s and now this Tor collection in 2001.
The Collected Stories of Vernor Vinge contains almost all my published short fiction to date. For the record, the omissions are:
• True Names, which is included in True Names and the Opening of the Cyberspace Frontier;
• “Grimm’s Story,” which is the core of my novel, Tatja Grimm’s World.
Finally, this Tor collection contains a first appearance, the novella Fast Times at Fairmont High (hot off the word processor)
