Introductions

I like to gather all SRD's writings and sometimes they pop up where you least expect it, like in the book My Favorite Fantasy Story where he writes an introduction to the story "The Dancer of the Dance" by John Harrison

Maybe we can gather information here about where we can find these introductions...

Those I have read are of course in SRD's short-story collections:

1. Daughter of Regals
2. Reave the Just and Other Tales

Then there is a foreword in the single volume of Gilden-Fire...

3. Gilden-Fire (Fontana 83)

He also introduces Reed Stephens in the British omnibus-edition(Orion) of his Reed Stephens novels simply called

4. The Reed Stephens Novels(Orion 2001)

Also in the "new" British paperback-edition of The Gap series his introduction even has a title: After The Gap, Reflections on Storytelling

5. The Real Story: The Gap into Conflict(Voyager 1997)

Then in his own compilation "Strange Dreams"

6. Strange Dreams (Bantam Spectra 1993)

And now lately, an introduction is in the short-story collection My Favorite Fantasy Story in which SRD introduces M. John Harrison's story "The Dancer From The Dance". That story was by the way in his own Strange Dreams...

7. My Favorite Fantasy Story (DAW, 2000)

I believe these are all I have that I can think of, there are probably more...
Maybe in the new editions of the Chrons? Are there?

Great idea, Kasten. Good collection! :) and Edge, that looks like the most obscure Donaldson find since his letter to the comics editor. Congrats. ;)

Just bumped the thread about SRD's letter, in General Discussion.

Trying, Kasten. :) The mods in General Discussion are the ones who have to make that transfer. They are Jay, Skyweir, VS, and TLF. Any of you willing to transfer the SRD Comics Letter into the Other Works Forum for us?
