KW ANTHOLOGY II: CONTRIBUTOR'S GUIDE

Post by **Furls Fire** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 4:27 pm

There's a thought!

Now, if I can just find the time to do some tweaking and polishing before the deadline!

Hey y'all, just a little request for all Watchers intending to submit a work for Anthology II. Please include your Watch-name with your work. It makes a lot of the admin stuff easier.

PS - danlo, if you PM me your poem I will submit it for you.

Those are both good points. I hadn't considered either. Thats why multiple heads are better than one.

You should get a hydra on the team!

To add something meaningful to the thread (I feel a bit guilty about wasting everyone's time with a lame hydra joke):

I'm going to finish the short story I began for the first anthology.

At first I thought I might submit the complete Ghostblood story - which has been presented in the forum already, but only up to half of it - but it turns out it's about 49 pages long, way beyond the 20,000 words limit, and even with some careful trimming, I can't cut entire chapters out of it. So, unless those who read the part I presented on the forum really enjoyed it and want to know how it ends, AND the guideline is waived, no Ghostblood for the anthology

Alternatively, though, I have two or three other completed short stories which should fit within the guidelines, and I also have an idea for another short story which I could write especially for the anthology...

Nathan, Xar I hope you both are able to submit something. Our first go at the Anthology was terrific. Lots of neat stories. Lots of talent. I can't wait to read what is offered this time.
Xar I rarely go to the Hall of Gifts. I'll have a look at your Ghostblood story.

I'm pretty sure I'll submit something, even if it's not Ghostblood; that one would simply be the easiest submission, because it's already partly translated (with very few exceptions, I write in Italian

). But I can understand that it might be way too long for the anthology, weighing at 49 Word pages... Anyway, take a look in the HoG and let me know

Thanks!

Carumba I PMed one person my poem and someone else PMs me back saying thanks. It's like you guys have a secret commitee, or something-very scary!

My bad, danlo. I should have acknowledged reception of your submission and I should have sent you a note explaining that I had forwarded it to the submission team. I'm a dink.

Post by **danlo** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 5:55 pm

No I don't care-I'm just having fun-you might be a denk, but you're no dink

Well then I withdraw the "dink" comment. Thanks.

He knows too much!

Silverweb is go. I repeat: silverweb is go. You know what to do, people.

So with less than a month before the deadline, what's the status for the anthology? I'm curious...

Post by **variol son** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 8:16 am

Only four submissions so far - what's wrong with you all? You aren't making the Selection Teams job any easier.

Post by **Xar** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 8:49 am

Well, at least that makes my story more likely not to be trimmed again

I suspect everyone is busy polishing his or her story at the moment, VS... it's likely you'll get swamped with stories immediately after the deadline!

Post by **variol son** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 8:51 am

Yeah, which is what we don't want.

We have real-life too peoples, so if you want this thing by xmas, a few more entries before the deadline would help.

Post by **aTOMiC** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 10:40 am

Though I'm running behind expectations I should have my entry in before the deadline. I have 2 major scenes to write and then the re write. I know there are other projects being worked on. I don't know if our entry count will equal KWA1 but there will be more than four entries to be sure.

Post by **hierachy** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 1:13 pm

Likely there will be a lot of submissions at or around the deadline. Mine will be one of them.

Post by **kevinswatch** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 2:22 pm

Heh, I still want to contribute something to the second anthology, but I don't think my creative drives will be able to pump out a short story in a month. Maybe I can do some art, or design something, or maybe do a short little intro or something.-jay

I agree. Submissions were a little on the low side until the last minute with the first anthology too, as I recall.
