Awesome project!!
Awesome project!!
Wanted list:
Ubris
I think I have the beginnings of a short story that might be worthy (fingers crossed)
I assume final sale price will be dictated on the overall size of the publication, illustrations etc, but do you have any thoughts on what range you think this might fall to?
I hope members here will be your target market to sell the final publication?
(PS I'm willing to sign 100 signature pages lol)
Just sent off some poems to submissionLand. I will send some short stories for consideration later as well. When they are ready. Great idea, Shannon. Glad to see this post.
Go then, there are other worlds than these.
Got 3 stories that will head that way...
"8 Hour Life"
"Blink"
"Frozen Flu"
Eventually I will be trying to get a short story collection of my stuff published in one novel, got 5 writing so far

Jeremy, your poem is safe and sound. Thanks!
Tom, I've received quite a bit of emails so far considering it's only been one day.

Almost a week since the announcement, how is everyone doing?
SHORT STORY: I plan on submitting a short story as well, and I completed my first half hour of work on it a little earlier today. I don't get a lot of time during the work week to just sit and focus, so my work will primarily be done on the weekends. Earlier during one of my slow periods at work I was able to sketch out the plotline as well as some ideas for little details. And today, during my half hour, I was able to pretty much get the first scene down on paper. Not perfectly written or anything like that, but the first draft of the first scene is done. Yay me!
ANTHOLOGY: At the same time I sketched out the plotline, I also did some mock-ups of the Title page, the Table of Contents page, and the Contributor Biography/Thanks page. Not too shabby. I've sent out the first two batches of submissions to my selections committee. I have not personally read anything yet. Skimmed, yes. Read, no. Oh wait, I take it back, I have read one poem. The first poem we received, and I loved it. Loved loved loved it. And Amber loved it. Haven't heard from Brice yet.
The poem is entitled "Mr. Scratch's Murder Circus", and I'll let the author allow himself to be known at the moment if he wishes. Once July 7th hits, that is when we will make our final decisions as to what is going to be included. Nothing is 100% "in" until then.

Your killing me making me wait that long & I'll be in Croatia too!
Cool project, Shannon, Amber and Brice! I look forward to readin everyone's contributions when this gets published!
Are you not going to have a go Patrick?
Oh, I highly doubt it, Tom. There are much better writers around here than me. I could doodle some stick figures if needed though.
Hmm, I wonder if that will make the final cut
I might've missed this in the initial posting, but say I wanted to submit a story for consideration. Could I do so and get some short feedback before giving my permission to publish?
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Jerome, I'm fair. I'll be using another member's name when I submit it to my staff members for consideration. I, like everyone, would like to know honestly what people think.
Ricky, I would like for all the stories to be "brand new" to the reader's eyes. If I were you and wanted feedback, I would PM a select group of people and ask them, instead of making it public just yet. I won't say that if you publically post it it wouldn't get accepted, but it's something that we would have to think about.

I'm hoping to visit Croatia soon! My grandfather was born there and I have friends near Zagreb.
Also... I'm not sure if anyone would be interested, but if an artist creates a work I would love to write a short story to go along with it.
Here's my latest artwork. Knock yourself out (literally)
Just kidding lol. Sounds like a plan. Coming up with a story based on someone's art would be cool.
If everything works out as planned I'll start working on my illustration today. I used to draw a lot when I was younger but I haven't really done anything (art-wise) for years and years so it's going to be fun!
Alan I just spat my breakfast everywhere ... I hope your happy!!!Here's my latest artwork. Knock yourself out (literally)
Just kidding lol. Sounds like a plan. Coming up with a story based on someone's art would be cool.
With the strange appearance of the sun in Derbyshire for the second day running I'm going to be carrying on with my second story today :-)
Shannon, fear not! I'd be fair. You don't need to try to deceive me. I have no problems rejecting you for your own book if it sucks.
AND to show that I'm a good sport about it I'll even send you a nice personalized (with facsimile signature) copy of our form rejection letter (which is worthy of inclusion in our book) As I understand it these are becoming quite the collectable.
Alan: I'm afraid you're making the rest of us look bad with the superb quality of your artwork.
Oh.....I could create a story from your artwork. Obviously this guy completely misunderstood the phrase.......Come Into The Light....Here's my latest artwork. Knock yourself out (literally)
Just kidding lol. Sounds like a plan. Coming up with a story based on someone's art would be cool.
