We all remember this don't we? We had so much fun watching the results happen:

and

Well, we finally have a name for the imprint, and the guy who gets to go to bat first (best of luck to you, Richard Dansky! Blaze trails for the rest of us!)

Now we know it was real, folks. It even has a name.

"Discoveries"

Interesting.

Would you prefer *another* one syllable, vaguely guttural, vaguely conan term? (tor, orb, roc, daw, baen, ace, forge, and etc.)

Discoveries, I think, is apt since all of these titles arrived in an open call and most of us were discovered through this open call.

Sign o the times.. As books get longer, publishers can fit a bigger logo on the spine. Big books = longer name = cool.

If you put it that way... yes! lol *is a barbarian*

Lol is also a swank star trek reference, which makes it perfect for a new sci fi imprint about robots with families.
