KW ANTHOLOGY II - VOLUNTEER FOR SELECTION TEAM

Post by aTOMiC »

For all of you who would like to particpate in the next Anthology but don't plan to submit an entry, we would like you to consider joining the selection team.
The job description is pretty simple.
With your fellow team members, read the submissions then collaborate to decide which entries should be included.
We'll set up an email account that everyone on the team can access and that submissions can be sent to.
That's pretty much it.

Great Murrin! I believe I read in another post the Variol Son would be williing. Things are off to a good start.

Yeah, willing if required. :D

Do you really want to deal with the backlash again? ;)

Hehe, well any "backlash" came from people that I very much respect here at the Watch and their comments expressed disappointment, not personal attacks.

Also, I won't be submitting anything myself but I would still like to be involved - it's a worthwhile venture. That and I enjoyed getting to read all the submissions, not just the ones that made it into the final anthology. :D

Thank you, VS.

To submit, or not to submit. That is the question. If I don't, I wouldn't mind helping out with the editing.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Okay, I give up. I'm not gonna submit anything - the muse is in a coma, or something. Maybe it died. *shrug* Guess I'll have to train a new one.

I'd like to be on the selection team, though. I wanted to help with the last project but wasn't really able to.

I was going to volunteer, but I see we have enough good people already. Well, I'll throw my name into the hat in case something dire happens. Your choice if you want me involved in this stage of it.

Well lets run a tally and find out where we are. Last time I checked we had 2 confirmed volunteers and at least one "I'll do it if you really need me." I'd like for there to be at least 3 members of the team so we may need your assistance, Joy. Assuming of course you aren't going to contribute something.


Confirmed Volunteers: Murrin, Alyanna
Maybe: Variol Son

We're just thrilled to have you. Its good to know the selection is in such good hands. I'll be sending PMs to all of selection team with the password for access to the submissions email address. How you handle the selection process is entirely up to the team. Once you hash out a plan let us know what we can do to help.

Great! Welcome, team!

No, I won't be contributing anything. I got bogged down in the story intended for the 3rd anthology, because I've never seen a real bullfight. No, it isn't supposed to be a real bullfight in the story, but I want to know what I'm basing the fantasy on.
