Binge brownies with William F. Wu as we discuss how the two of us almost ended up at the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Workshop together (and why we didn't), the reason he wasn't terrified when he got the chance to play in Issac Asimov's robot universe, how an assignment from Harlan Ellison gave birth to one of his more famous short stories (which was later adapted as an episode of <em>The Twilight Zone</em>, what he found easy about writing in George R. R. Martin's <em>Wild Cards</em> universe, how you might never have read his science fiction if crime editors had been kinder to him, what Kate Wilhelm told him which helped fix a story problem, why Marvel's <em>Master of Kung Fu</em> comic books attracted him (and how he'd have written the book if given the chance), how he manages to collaborate with other writers without killing them, and much more.
