I am still working on the Smith biography, but it seems to me that CAS is better served by getting his stories and poems back into print than writing a biography that refers to stories which are not available. Besides, textual work on the "Collected Fantasies" is helping me to notice how Smith developed as a writer and how his treatment of various themes developed and changed as he evolved. There are a few areas that need more investigation, and I need to read a few more books on literary theory, but most of the heavy lifting is finished.
