Editing Nemonymous (section)

==History==
The first issue of ''Nemonymous'', subtitled ''A Journal of Parthenogenetic Fiction and Late Labelling'', appeared in November 2001, published in what [[Paul Di Filippo]] described as a "unique, handsome, perfect-bound format roughly as big as an autoowner manual."<ref name="Asimovs"/> Nine issues were published through July 2010. The final four editions were more like books than journals: ''Zencore'' (2007), ''Cone Zero'' (2008), ''Cern Zoo'' (2009) and ''Null Immortalis'' (2010).{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}

All stories saw their first publication in ''Nemonymous''. A few notable republications after appearing in ''Nemonymous'': "The Assistant To Dr Jacob" by Eric Schaller and "England and Nowhere" by Tim Nickels were chosen for [[Year's Best Fantasy and Horror]] anthologies. "Strange Scenes From an Unfinished Film" by Gary McMahon was chosen for ''Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror''.<ref>''The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror 2010'' edited by Paula Guran, Prime Books, 2010, page 572.</ref> The novelette "The Lion's Den" by Steve Duffy was chosen for ''The Best Horror of the Year Volume Two'' edited by Ellen Datlow and  ''The Weird'' edited by [[Ann VanderMeer|Ann]] and [[Jeff VanderMeer]]<ref>''The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories'' edited by Ann VanderMeer and Jeff VanderMeer, Tor Books, 2012, page 1120.</ref> and was also a finalist for the 2009 [[World Fantasy Award—Novella|World Fantasy Awards]].<ref>"[https://locusmag.com/2010/08/2009-world-fantasy-awards-nominees/ 2009 World Fantasy Awards Nominees]," Locus Magazine, August 24, 2010.</ref>

Two stories apparently remain anonymous in perpetuo: the influential "Vanishing Life and Films of Emmanuel Escobada" and "George the Baker." Also, Nemonymous Two in 2002 is reputed to have published the world's first blank story. And Nemonymous Six existed only through its non-existence, according to records.<ref>"[https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?300969 Nemonymous 6]," [[Internet Speculative Fiction Database]], accessed 1/4/2024.</ref>
