That was the title when I got the manuscript. I guess I didn't think to ask about it. Joy (Dragonlilly) probably knows for certain.

Sorry, deleted the question; didn't think anyone had seen it yet. Joy mentions the title in the editor's intro.

Sorry. I'm Johnny on the spot.
I hadn't gotten a chance to read the intro.

2006 1/2, eh? Reminds me of the Naked Gun movies, heh. 33 and 1/3rd! I like, I like.
Might actually get me a copy of this one. Seems to be more fantasy oriented, which is a plus in my book.
Like the cover too!

Wow, its
really cheap, £5.83. I may have to look into buying one of these.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

I named it 2006 1/2 because we already have a 2006. Foul picked up on the mood. Good job, everyone who contributed!
We're going to have members joining just because they want to get in on this great project of ours.

Jay, I don't think the "Teen" rating describes this one. These read adult to me.

Thanks for pointing that out LM. I checked the original document and its fine. There might have been something odd about the way the pdf generator compressed the format. I'll get a revision over to Jay asap.
UPDATE. I've sent Jay the correction.

That's true. The titles in the manuscript have been corrected as well. My only boggle is that I don't have what I need to alter the jpeg for the back cover until I get home today but the moment I can I will send a revision on to Jay. In the mean time I believe Jay will apply the changes I've already sent.

I was going to order some copies today for holiday gifts. Glad I saw this thread first.
Let me know when the little problems are fixed (sounds like soon?) and then I will place my order.
All three of my sisters went nuts over the first anthology by the way - they had nothing but praise for all of the authors.
I do not remember if I ever mentioned that anywhere?
Love as thou wilt.

Duchess, you're missing on the opportunity of purchasing copies of the fabled First Edition... The one with all the typos!
