LOL! how crepuscular of you!
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

VS sums it up well for all of us on the selection committee. We were here to do a job and we took it seriously. We weren't heartless bastards gleefully rejecting material left and right, but I can understand how the committee might be painted as such, due to the thankless nature of the task we were assigned. I don't know how many times we can say we're sorry, but for what it's worth, I'll say it too: I'm sorry if our choices resulted in any hurt feelings. VS, dlbpharmd and I carefully judged every entry sent our way; if our judgement seems suspect to some, well, there's not much we can do about that. You folks could maybe launch an independent inquiry or something...variol son wrote: As a team, we agonized over all our decisions. Very few of them were easy, and I personally was gutted every time an author's work was not included.
Yeah, it sucks. But we were asked to select and we had to select. I'm truly sorry if we have offended or upset anyone, but that was always going to happen when works are submitted for selection and not universally included.
With that out of the way, I want to say it's been a stimulating experience for me to participate in this project. My mind has been opened to all the interesting creative writing talent that is here at the Watch. As a consequence of working on the Anthology, I've been browsing the back pages of the Hall of Gifts and paying more attention to what's in there.

Heh, if it makes anyone feel better, probably the only reason why mine was picked is because the selection committee feared getting banned.
But seriously, thanks to the selection committee for giving my short story the honor of being selected... I had no idea it would be so competitive. While my story is pretty silly, it's pretty special to me since it's the only work of extended creative writing I've been able to produce. I just hope everyone enjoys it. And hopefully everyone won't yell, "Bah, the only reason why this crap is in here is because the author is an admin." Heh.
But yeah, thanks to everyone who put work into this thing. I hope it turns out pretty cool.-jay

Wait a minute, Jay. My story was selected; why aren't I an Administrator?

I can't wait to see the finished product! Thank you for including "The Creed", it's been around a very long time (gathering dust in the closet for 10 years or so) will be awesome to see it in actual print.
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

So, once we're accepted, we have to write a 150-200 word bio. Are these also subject to the submission committee?

Just write something crepuscular, dAN -- I'm sure it'll be okay.
Thanks to the selection committee for selecting my story -- I'm honored to be included.
I'm headed right now to the Hall of Gifts to read Syl's & CovJr's.

Thanks to everyone who worked on the Anthology (and are continuing to do so!) Considering the time constraints that work, family and life's little problems put on people, I'm sure it wasn't easy for you to make this happen. I'm looking forward to reading it
