Who's quitting? I'm confused. :?

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

That's what he was referring to.

Uuh, they're (we're?) putting together a collection of works, fiction pieces, poetry (I think) etc, by the Members of the Watch. :)

Great idea folks. :)

Whoa, you guys should get my mom to submit something. She's got some stories that really rock. Tho, she keeps them to herself mostly. :D
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love


For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

I haven't seen her much on here lately, Fire Daughter. Would you tell her about it? Fist says she writes really well.

People of the Watch

although I am new I would like to offer my assistance to Myste and The Edge. I have twenty years experience in digital prepress, publication production, typography and layout, and have been teaching it at University and Technical College for 9 years.

I run Adobe Creative Suite and Quark and am competent in producing interactive PDF files for digital eBook type distribution as well.

We would love to have you aboard, Forest Dreamer.

Selection committee, we're going to need to sort out exactly what the selection guidelines will be... I needsome time to think and discuss with TOM C. Suggestions by PM are very welcome. Hopefully we can get this stage set up and ready to start judging submissions within the next week.

My suggestion for the editors is that they all have access to an email account - password and such. Those who want to submit send their story to this account.

He just means great minds think alike. I was thinking about a yahoo loop. Last I heard, they could be set so only the 3 committee members are members of the loop and read the posts, but others, the contributors, can post things to the loop.

I think...

I believe WB not only mentioned it but has already setup an address.
WB, if you haven't already done so I suggest you post a separate announcement with the address and also PM our selection committee about accesss requirements.
I'm guessing you have probably already performed these tasks. :D

We create a gmail account, and give everyone involved the password. Submissions can be stored there as attatchments. Infact, I think I'll get on it now... unless someone has a better idea.

I've heard mention of poetry being included in the anthology, but nothing definitive. Are we adding poetry to the short stories? I should say now, I'm not qualified to edit poetry. I don't know anyone who is, actually. It's so personal.
