Just a few words about my input

As usual I began as a frequent user of the database until I realized that I may well contribute to the site. Since I am an reader (and collector) of mainly short sf (only few novels are in my opinion worth a second reading) I am eager to find out about publications of my favourite authors or award-winning stories (also in different languages).

My personal background: Born 1966 in Germany, I am a statistician (which led me at one time trying to bibliograph my collection with SAS - a statistical program, but the ISFDB is more efficient, believe me), and go by the name Christian Steinbacher.

At the moment I am more or less contributing unsystematically, entering new acquisitions or the things I am reading right at this time, fixing faults or omissions I come across. Some authors will remain in focus, though.

The following list serves to document the changes initiated on a given day
(not documented will be additions to author entries and adding of a title series).
