Tales From Earth. Book Update

[Mokey Fraggle]

Pulling them out of a hat might mean that some people will have multiple submissions, while others will have none at all, won't it?

[cronogenesis]

Boo. I also think you should ask those with multiple first. Some of us have spent a lot time and effort (and got an E in mock exams) for this book so its fairer if everyone has at least one story in.

[sledgecallier]

Ok, I knew there would be no easy way of doing this. I will, however, as you ask, have a look through those articles where there is more than one submission by an author and see what we can swap back in to get as many as possible of you in the book.

Happy Holidays!

[cronogenesis]

Im happy for my two puzzles to go if it helps. I only did them quickly after I failed my exams

[sledgecallier]

Ok, I've gone back over the submissions and have re-arranged them so that we have dropped submissions from authors who submitted more than one article and added back in the ones from authors that would have been dropped completely. I think we now have at least one work from everyone. I'll e-mail or PM authors who are facing losing a piece of work and just check which they would prefer to keep in.

Obviously, it's Christmas Day today and I'm already getting evil glares from the family for sitting on the PC and not doing the 'opening presents' thing so may not be today that I get back to people.

Should be in the next couple of days though...

Happy Holidays!

[tanner]

so what was this thing about opening presents? -- i remember something similar from when i was about 5yrs old i think

[sledgecallier]

I got a surprise present of a Sony PSP this year, so the book may have to wait a little longer!

Actually, I'll get it squared away ASAP.

[skenmy]

Did my story get through? I sent it to sledgecallier about 2 weeks ago, but never got a response. I may or may not have actually sent it to the right address

I know i'm a bit late now - but I would love a copy of this book

[GasparLewis]

Yeah, I don't think I submitted an address.


Bah, it'll be sorted out after the holiday, am I right
(Oooooh, I hope "Natalie" made the cut!)

[sledgecallier]

I'll chase up everyone for contact details etc once the book has been submitted to Seaside Press and there's a bity more spare time.

Cheers

Any chance of a final list of articles included?

[sledgecallier]

Ok, to be clear, this is not a final list as there may be further inclusions of stories that seem to have got lost somewhere (e.g. Skenmy's)

However, as it stands the list is:

[cronogenesis]

Thanks mate. I like to keep updated with everything. Hope its all goign well editor side! No blog from a stroppy Vi eiter

[sledgecallier]

No contact from anyone at all lately. Violet has been singularly uncommunicative through the whole process and now Ellen at Seaside Press seems to have dissapeared?

It's almost as if there's some 'christmas' type holiday thing going on and the puppet masters are all off stuffing their faces with minced pies and having a well earned rest...
