Welcome, CP. If this goes well, writers will have another book to submit to.

And thanks to the others who have volunteered to proofread.

We don't have any British proofreaders, and we do need at least one. We are leaving each author's spelling as it is written in their country, so we need a proofreader who is used to British spellings.

I'm working on a series of shorts for what I hope will be KW's second book, titled "Horror Stories For The Mentally Challenged". I don't want to give away too much here, but the short I'm currently working on is about a guy named Jarrod (who happens to like submarine sandwiches) being stanlked by a weird-assed dude in a king mask, holding a burger in one hand.....

Committee beware

. (dAN's 1st Anthology story is actually very funny.)

I was working on mine this morning. Probably for the 3rd anthology, since I write a few paragraphs per month.

Did a big Christmas shopping trip this morning, too. Tomorrow the Anthology and I get intense together.

Ta dah!! The Index, Intro, and all the Bios just went out to Edge. He hopes to have his current jobs finished tomorrow so he can start work on the Anthology.

And welcome.

That's great call on me when you need help!

I would also be happy to help. Oh I live in London by the way.

Hi, Kay. By the luck of the draw, we've only got one story and two poems by non-Americans, in spite of having two non-Americans on the selection committee. But we could still use more proofreaders for the American-spelled stories. And we probably have material for a second Anthology later on.

So we're still collecting names, all !!

our new friend and KW member Elipsis[i[/i] has the necessary qualifications and may be available and interested in proof reading

I forgot to mention he is British

Post by **Dragonlily** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 6:24 pm

Yep. Got Elipsis first on the list.

So what's the status as of today?

Post by **Dragonlily** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 2:48 pm

Edge is sick, and trying to finish some professional commissions. We're going to have to work around his paying clients, because they are the gotta-have-this-tomorrow-just-make-this-thirteenth-and-last-change-for-me kind. He is eager to get going on the Anthology as soon as he can.

Glad to see this project is nearing completion! I can't wait to read everyone's stories.

We are getting close to a time when the Christmas orders may be too late. If there is any chance we can make the end of the month we still have a shot.

Post by **Xar** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 11:37 am

Darn, I only found out too late about this project... well, I'm in for the second anthology then!

Post by **Dragonlily** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 3:12 pm

It doesn't look like we're going to make it for Christmas, guys. Sorry, but it just wasn't possible.

We'll welcome your submission, Xar. And I have my eye on some other possible submitters.

(Now if we'll just have the staff...)

It's OK, Joy.

Everyone involved has other responsibilities like work and family and school, after all.

There's always the holidays next year.

Or we can get people on their birthdays.

Or Valentine's Day.

Or any other number of gift giving occasions.
