Re: OT: Can\'t remember name of science fiction novel
I think I read both of the books you mentioned. I don't ever recall reading a story like Dmm mentions, so I don't think the 2 you mentioned are the ones. But it has been a very, very long time since I have read them. Sorry, can't be of much help. I used to be an avid Sci-fi and fantasy reader. Still like the genre, but just have too many other things I would rather be doing.

Re: OT: Can\'t remember name of science fiction novel
It was a longshot. not much to narrow down the search with but who knows. Don't suppose you remember any names? Characters, author, a word in the title?

Nothing. Maybe I only dreamed that I once read it.
Except, once I wrote music for a poem that I read and really liked, and years later discovered that the poem had long ago been set to music. And of course the old music was quite similar to "my" music.

Story contest sounds good. I might submit something. Don't have an idea (yet?) though.

Re: OT: Can\'t remember name of science fiction nov
Ugh, I consider myself fairly good at researching stuff, but I haven't found a whiff of your story here. How did the story refer to telepathics? Was the word telepathy used, or psionics, or something else. Were telepathic individuals called espers, seers, simply telepaths? Anything that might trigger a memory that we could use to narrow it down some. You used the term "telepathic underground" in quotes. Is that because it was a phrase you remember being used specifically?

Geo: Thank you very much for your efforts. This has really exposed the weakness of databases. I don't remember the words used. Could have been anything you suggested, or it could have been "mentals" or "mentats" or something entirely different. Not necessarily telepath. And there was a special word for the few "telepaths" who could do all of the "telepathic" abilities. (Most people could only do one.) Similarly, I put "telepathic underground" in quotes to indicate that I was making up that word. I doubt seriously if that's what the author called it.
