It is interesting to find out that some apparently singular authors are in fact two people. Our group might be able to raise some surprises in amongst the nominations.

My interest is particularly with those that write separately as well as occasional collaborations, I suppose because it gives more fodder for comparison and consideration. The aforementioned novella was selected on pretty much this basis; each had written some excellent short stories and I was curious to see what they'd do together.
