I end up grinding my teeth at least once a month at an unthinking use of "new weird" in some review somewhere by someone who clearly has no idea what the writers behind NW actually meant by it.
Out of curiosity—which is? I was on a panel this summer at Readercon that had to discuss the New Weird, and I think our results were inconclusive . . .
reasonable candidates for filing alongside Gilman under "influences"
Greer Gilman, actually, was not one of my early influences. (Though I have a cousin who read Moonwise when she was thirteen, so it does happen. She's pretty sure it did something to her head.) I think I discovered her with "Jack Daw's Pack" in 2001; we've been in regular correspondence since 2004. She introduced me to Waterson : Carthy.
I bet your comrades have read them, too.
I can hazard guesses, but I have no real idea. I should attempt a poll.

That description I won't argue with.
