| Posted By : crystalwizard - 10/3/2007 6:24 PM | New illustrations are being added to the different stories already online.
There are now quite a few so instead of posting links, i'm going to ask you to go to the home page at
http://flashingswords.sfreader.com
and click through the various issues.
I'll post an update as new illustrations are added to the stories. |

I've started an illo for William King's story in Issue #1. How is an artist to know which stories are taken? I guess what I am really asking is how do I get started? Email me please at gwthomas21@hotmail.com

The best way to know if a story is already taken is to email me and ask :) I'll shoot you an email now. |

Which page Bruce? Everything seems to be working for me, what'd I miss? |
| Posted By : C.Cevasco - 10/19/2007 6:03 PM | The new illustrations continue to be great.
But Bruce is right, the link to the Guardian of the Dawn illustration (up in your top post) doesn't work. I found the illustration anyway, but only by surfing around on the FS site.
Keep 'em coming!

| Posted By : von Darkmoor - 11/16/2007 12:26 PM | | Hey CW! Can we make a searchable table of all our artists on the FS site? So we can find all the art by an artist just by clicking on his/her name?
(Hmmm, how 'bout doing that by authors and serial characters, too. . . . ?  )

Sure. you put the specifics together, and I'll turn it into a table. Then we'll talk Dave into implementing a search engine. Or we can just make a table of authors/stories, artists, illos with clickable links. (second one will be easier) |
| Posted By : von Darkmoor - 11/16/2007 5:29 PM | um. <gulp> there you go again, turning things back on me.  what a good boss!
okay, second one, just a simple table in Word or something? then email it to you? and how/who will update it after each picture & story? |
| Posted By : crystalwizard - 11/16/2007 6:09 PM | Just email me a list of author names, the names of their stories and the url those stories can be fournd out.
And a list of artist names, the name of the story their illustrations are and the url to the specific stories.
Once the table's built, I'll update it when I put new illos online. |
| Posted By : LWhittier - 11/16/2007 9:58 PM | | I'm getting around to this late, but I really like the addition of illustrations to the stories. It's a great touch, and I look forward to seeing more art in future issues. Kudos to all involved. :) |

| Posted By : Miko - 12/18/2007 4:00 PM | | Wanted to say hi to everyone... I forgot my former sign on name and just went ahead and created this one. I am excited to see Flashing Swords once again raising the sword to promote the S&S genre.
I will be doing the illustration for the story in Vol. 8 "Stand Stand They Shall Cry" by Michael Ehart. I look forward to having my art contribute to this story and hopefully other Flashing Sword stories.

| Posted By : von Darkmoor - 12/20/2007 10:28 AM | Cool! I look forward to seeing what you'll be adding to Michael's story, Miko. Welcome!

| Posted By : Miko - 12/21/2007 1:06 PM | I had fun with it... I hope readers will enjoy it as well.

The links didn't work for me until I changed the .htm extension to .asp
Good work, though.

James Enge's story from Issue #6, A Covenant with Death, has a cool illustration now:
flashingswords.sfreader.com/issues/issue6/vol2-iss6-01.htm
Belated thanks to the editors and the illustrator, Nick Logan for this. I especially like the look on Morlock's face: ready to deal with trouble or deal it out.

We'll see. I have a limited budget so that's not something I can take on right now. |
