james_davis_nicollW. Citoan keeps track of Yet Another Story ID requests on rec.arts.sf.written.
The Most Frequently Requested Authors are
35 - Isaac Asimov
20 - Poul Anderson
19 - Clifford D. Simak
16 - Robert A. Heinlein
15 - Frederik Pohl
15 - Robert Silverberg
And I believe that this is since they began keeping track in June 2005.
It pleases me to see Simak up there at the number three position [1]. It seemed to me like he dropped off people's radar pretty fast after he died, although I know he has his supporters: If I recall correctly Andrew Wheeler and Ellen Asher included City as part of the SFBC 50th anniversary series and of course John Pelan of Darkside Press [2] is in the process of bringing all of Simak's short work back into print.
Any other publishers or editors who are doing something Simak-related, feel free to mention it here.
1: It is a bit depressing that the top four are all dead but I guess that makes sense.
2: I seem to be too dim to find their website. Please tell me this is not because of a problem with Darkside. Note that asking that question does not constitute a claim that there is a problem with Darkside.
