When I approached Iain at the tail-end of last year about writing a story for Celebration, the BSFA's 50th Anniversary anthology, he told me he hadn't written a short story in nearly 20 years and had no intention of doing so.

He then went on to say that with the line-up I had in place for the book, he'd definitely be buying a copy, which I suppose is better than nothing. :)
