Here's a funny observation -- of the submissions I've read so far (there are some links in one of the comment threads on Whatever), the majority are along the lines of many crossovers I've seen: that is, the writer either knew a fair amount about Wil, or a fair amount about Scalzi, or not much about either. Reminiscent of the many Mac/Gate crossovers where the author knows Jack well but only knows Mac by reputation, so you basically get a short-haired armed Jack and a long-haired unarmed Jack.

In my own case, I knew Scalzi's 'voice' better than Wil's, so I had gone over to Wil's site and read more of his writing, checked out his Twitter feed, etc. . . . in other words, I did research. *eyeroll* I guess it's an unbreakable habit. Or an automatic reflex.

At any rate, one of the things that I like about my own submission is that it's pretty well balanced, with both of them strongly presented; and I'm hoping that when they read it, the character voices will sound right. And, of course, I'm hoping they laugh their asses off. That would be great.
