Dragonlily, what I meant applied to user names specifically. My user name could easily be a pen name, but some can't be because they don't look like "real" names. I do think it would be neat if we could see what anthology contributors' Watch names were - if they were inclined to share - but not, as you said, in the byline. That's why I tossed out the idea of a bio section.

I was joking about your suggestion of screen name, Alynna. And yes, we have planned to have an intro section for each published story, which might be a bio, or thoughts on the story, or where it originated, or any number of other bits of short commentary.

Great idea, Dragonlilly!

Well, now we know how well I take a joke... ;)

Not much of spoiler if you're not actually spoiling anything, Loremaster, but I'd guess you're the first. :mrgreen:

Come on kiddies! Submit, SUBMIT, SUBMIT!

We have a lack of entries at the website, so submit your poems and short stories to KWAnthology@gmail.com so that Matrixman, dlbpharmd can have a read.

Fist and Furls, I know you have things ready and I am waiting for them. :-x

I'm being patient, but if possible I would like to start editing early. It takes a certain "exclusionary" type of concentration to edit a story, and I don't want to be working on too many at a time.

That was my thought as well. Once we get about 10 submissions or so, I wanted to start discussing some of them with Matrixman and dlbpharmd before the cut-off date so that we don't get caught by any last minute rush. We are all in different countries after all.

Couldn't you discuss one as soon as you have all read it?

That seems a sensible approach to me. Deal with them as you go along; storing a load for a later date would just make your task more difficult, I imagine.

Prorider and I still have over half of our stories to write. The holiday was far too distracting for much work to be done. I expect our submissions will be completed in early Jan. Hopefully they will both be worth the wait. :-)

I'm lazy so mine is still only half done. I really want to write it but I just never get round to it.

Don't worry, I'll get it done before the deadline

I've only seen 3 so far - did I miss one somewhere? I have one from Jay, Alan and Joy.
