Love the list. Any short stories in the same vein?

Most of them are short stories. Basically anything less than 10,000 words should be able to fit into the Short Sci-Fi Collection 100 in a single entry:

The longer ones in the novelettes section may need to be split into two parts before submitting to the collection.
