Can we talk about that dang Anthology?

Post by deer of the dawn »

No progress has been detected in the development of the KW Anthology. I am very willing to assist in this, as long as files are electronic it would be a piece of cake for me to get a KDP paperback and Kindle version going. (I have lots of experience in publishing e-books which hang around the Amazon endangered species list forever. :P )

That's only if those who began with enthusiasm find that life has intervened and they are not able to complete the project and are willing to hand off...

Out of interest (more in respect of what the finished product might be than in terms of involvement in its production) what is the KW Anthology? Does it pertain only to works of fan-fiction, prose and poetry works of fiction more generally or the acme of such a project (in my eyes), an account of the Watch with contributions from members active and otherwise, outlining the key events of it's history, particularly erudite and vigorous thread examples and some extracts of the best writing to be found in its pages? (A massive undertaking this last, but one I believe that would repay the effort in terms of the value of what could be produced - but one alas beyond my abilities and patience (not to mention time and financial security) to be able to consider undertaking.

I always worry that one day I will come to the site and find it 'closed down'. Does this happen to old internet sites that no-one visits anymore? Does someone for example, have to pay for this site to remain open or once established does it simply exist in the cyberspace ad infinitum? Hope so - there's stuff in here I'd hate to loose!

Haha, ok, in order:

1) It's a collection of short stories, poetry and / or artwork (not sure if we ever had any art in one) by Members of the Watch.

2) Someone does have to pay for the site to remain open, and that someone is Jay. It's a relatively minimal yearly amount. We have no intention of closing it down, so if you ever turn up and it's not working, it's almost certainly just a technical problem.

Cool. I'll have a look and see if I can do something with it to make it e-reader friendly-- that is, if people are ok with that.

Smashwords might be the venue of choice, since it's easy to make stuff free there.
