Not meaning to sound angry. I am genuinely concerned, as it's been a year since submissions closed.

It's been longer than that since we've received any submissions. I believe aTOMiC extended the deadline several times in 2008 or 2009 (has it been that long ago? ), and opened it up for another round last year, and we got nothing new.

Yeah, I think apathy has set in amongst those who already knew about the anthology, and people who've joined since the last anthology may well be unaware of its existence (it's surprising how many times an entire forum can be overlooked if its title holds no significance to you).
I fear that an attempt to revive the anthology project might require Menolly-like pan-forum spam.

I'm all for that. I'd also like say I thoroughly enjoyed Lore's submission when I reviewed it lo those many years ago.

Guys. I'm sorry about the state of the Anthology these days. I did make several appeals but Mr. Underscore is correct when he points out we never really received enough submissions to go to publication. If we find a way to revive interest in publishing a book then I'll be more than happy to help get the thing completed. I just wish there was more interest.

What CovJr said, TOM. Totally not your fault.

What a great idea, Jay! You've got a good acceptance rate with the submission team, too.

Geez, where have I been?? somehow, I totally missed that there is a Kevin's Watch Anthology. (Feels for hair color)
I kid you not. What is the anthology? Now that I'm here, there isn't a thread called "Idiot's Guide to the Kevin's Watch Anthology" or "Kevin's Watch Anthology FAQ".
So what is it and where can I find out more? I'm assuming it is a collection of fanfic? Or general fantasy stories? Inquiring blondes want to know!!

I was talking to some folks just the other day and for some reason I mentioned the Anthologies which of course got me thinking about them again.
I'm still game if anyone else is of course it would have been much easier while I was still unemployed and just sitting around the house most days but I'll make the time if there is enough interest.
