ANTHOLOGY Status Report
The editors have been working on material as it became available, so there are only a few pieces left needing work.
The following stories have been returned to the authors with the initial edits. Their next step is for authors to return them to me:
BT Shire - "Scorn"
Kevinswatch - "Dr. Donez"
Khaliban - "Dragonhorn's Tale"
Or if any of you would prefer to return your story to Myste instead of to me, I think she has recovered enough for it.
I have aTOMiC's "Thule Of the Quill" for rewrites, and I need to tinker a little more with my poem "In the Forge".
Myste is working with Furls Fire's "The Creed."
All others have been turned in for typesetting.

Uh oh, are there still problems with The Creed? I'm sorry I've not been around much lately. If you need more input on it, let me know and I'll try to get it back quicker than I did the last time.
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.

The story of The Creed is so good that we want to put the best professional polish on it that is possible to give it. I got so involved with it while I was working on it that I couldn't stand off and be objective any more, so Myste is bringing a fresh eye to it.

I think an identification announcement on KW is a good idea.
I don't know what Myste has in mind about our screen names, but it might have to do with setting our avatars next to our stories. I think it's a good topic for discussion.
My original idea about screen names was that it would make us look less professional if they were included.

I personally don't mind the screen name included however if anyone has any strong feeling against it I'm fine with leaving it off and just referencing the names here at KW.
I'm getting the feeling we are closing in on the end of this process and will have a publication soon. Let's hope so.

I will abide by whatever decision you guys make. Of course, when the mortals read my story, they're going to want to know who I am here so they can worship me. Ahh, but I see that in my infinite wisdom I placed my username in my bio, so nevermind that last sentence.

That is very coo, DLl. I look forward to seeing it. BTW thanks for all the work you've done for this. It is greatly appreciated.Dragonlily wrote:I did too, but not so it could be worshipped.
Tom, I am planning to send you the edited version of "Thule" this weekend. Only two other authors have their stories still in their own hands.

Okay, obviously there is some confusion here.
Author's screen names are not--and never were--going to be used as bylines (unless there was a case in which someone didn't want their real name used). The screen names are going to be incorporated into the interior design of the book. The rationale behind this is that this book is the Kevin's Watch Anthology, and therefore it makes sense to have a point of reference to Kevin's Watch. I'm asking you to trust me on this--this is one area where I actually know what I'm doing. On KW, I play a princess, but in real life, I'm a publisher. I have a pretty solid idea of what is "professional" and what isn't.
This book is going to be as good as the authors' writing, Dragonlily's editing, Edge's artwork, and my 5 years of professional publishing experience can make it--which means it's going to be pretty damn good. PM me with individual requests regarding screen names/bios/intros, and I'll deal with them on a case by case basis.
I'm sorry if this sounds dictatorial, but that's what an editor is for. Authors, you've voluntarily put yourselves into our hands--now you have to trust us to carry you gently, and successfully, through this project. PM me if you're at all anxious, or have any specific requests, or want to tell me to go to hell. Otherwise, trust me. I have strong hands.
