:grinlove: Feel the love, people. Feel the love.

We can advertise the anthology on the site, here, and maybe people who post on other forums can spread the word. We'll sell some copies!! And it's going to look good!

Gee, I was thinking more along the lines of, "Myste and Joy's Unbelievably Awesome Display of Editing and Extraordinarily High Production Values." :mrgreen:

Well said Tom. That's the way I feel about it too. Keep it amongst ourselves, and if nobody ever buys it, that doesn't matter at all. That's not the reason it was decided to do it in the first place.

Hope you're all having fun! ;)

That is the way I feel, as well.
I agree. I think, in all the excitement and debate, it's been forgotten that I was giving both sides of the issue as objectively as I could - I don't necessarily agree with all or any of the points I made ;)

Syl - thanks for clearing that up. All is well :)

It's all a matter of perspective. When you don't like something, or something bothers you, change your perspective, and whatever it was is automatically different.

Works for me. ;)

P.S: My Grass is pretty Green too. ;)

Actually, I meant grass as in pot. But now that you mention it, you do have a nice ability to see things differently.

Hi! I'm new to the watch, and a writer. I would love to submit something, but I noticed the deadline is fast approaching, and I haven't written anything that could qualify as a "short story" in a long time. If I come up with any good ideas in the next few days, I'll write something and submit it. This anthology is a great idea! How many submissions do you have so far?

Very welcome, BT Shire. It looks like we have nine submissions so far. (Editor rubs hands together.)

And now 11.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Carp. More competition for my mediocre story. Hehe.-jay

P.S. You should have me design the book cover with one of my awesome cartoons. Hehe.

I just thought of an idea I'm very excited about! I have off work tomorrow so I will start writing. Hopefully it will come out as good as it seems in my head.

Great!

I am also off work tomorrow and will hopefully get my entry submitted. I would have submitted it around Christmas... but I decided upon a few major revisions at the last minute.

I just contributed a couple of poems, as well. Look for them in the Hall of Gifts, as well.

I spent a good amount of time writing today... I think my story is somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 done. Hopefully I'll be able to submit it by the end of the week!
