Two days to go ladies and gentlemen. :D

If you are planning to submit but have not done so yet, can you please send me a PM and let me know. That way if something unexpected happens and you can't submit on Wednesday Murrin, Alynna and I know how many late entries to expect.

I've finished my first draft and am working on the re write today and tomorrow. I WILL be able to submit on Tuesday unless I suffer a complete computer mishap of some kind. Perish the thought. I hope everyone likes my new entry. I'm having fun writing it. Trek fans beware. :-) (no its not a fan fic)

Looks like I managed to get it done. I'll be emailing my document over to the team, probably around 1 pm. (I'd like to give it one more look on my lunch break.

I don't want the selection team to be overwhelmed but I really hope there are more than a few selections sent in today. :-)

Ok people, I've sent PM's to those that seemed to have shown some sort of interest in submitting for Anthology II. This is for anyone I may have missed.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO SUBMIT FOR ANTHOLOGY II BUT YOU CAN'T GET YOUR POEM/STORY ETC TO THE SELECTION TEAM BY TODAY FOR WHATEVER REASON, PLEASE SEND ME A PM AND LET ME KNOW. PLEASE ALSO INCLUDE A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH EXTRA TIME YOU THINK YOU WILL NEED.

Many thanks
Vs (and Alynna and Murrin too :D)

Barring some miracle, it looks like I lost my Anthology submission. Lost all my data files: three years of recorded music, 11GB of CDs I ripped to my harddrive, you name it. Lost a short story I was working on for the Trimur-Nakati conflict. A bit numbed at the moment. Will be a while before my mood returns me to writing. I love you, life, but sometimes...

I might send a poem, but don't expect much. So sorry guys. Best of luck with this project; all my Foul love and blessings.

damn, I am sorry to hear that Foul. not as much as your lost, but I did lose pages of stuff last year. I think I can rewrite one of them (I have an excerpt) but I still haven't got around to it. my sympathies.

I feel your pain, Foul. My laptop died a few years back, and took the harddrive (with a couple hundred pages of stories and ideas, never mind all the pics and school work) with it. I still cling to the dead husk of the thing in the hopes that somebody, somewhere, somehow, can get the data off of it one day.

That is seriously bad news Foul. I too feel for you. My computer bit the dust last year destroying hundreds of downloaded songs and, worst of all, all of my short stories and poems.

Keep writing. It took me awhile, but that's what I did.

If I can replace any of your files, let me know.
