| Posted By : darkbow - 1/7/2008 7:29 AM | Hmm ... now that I think about it, I might have had a clue recently.
Does it involve chocolate? Or beer?

Of course, though whatever happens this summer will be extra-super-special, it will still pale in comparison to the release of The Return of the Sword this spring.
(Sorry, couldn't pass the chance to slam sword against shield once more  )

| Posted By : darkbow - 1/11/2008 8:45 PM | Hey, Deliverance was a darn fine book. Yeah, the movie had its ... scenes ... but the book was excellent.
And I have to wonder why people think of Deliverance when they think of vonDarkmoor. Must be coincidence.

Double? You're making the magazine bi-monthly?  (I can hope, right?)
I do horrible things to punctuation. |
| Posted By : Nik - 1/12/2008 8:50 PM | Doubling the size of the magazine?
Two anthologies this summer?
You're doubling pay rates?

| Posted By : Gustavo - 1/14/2008 3:31 PM | At least hint about what we should be trying to write... Should we aim for the usual fare or have something different waiting in the wings? I think I might be banned from subbing forever, since I have one story awaiting publication and two in the slushpile! But tell me anyway, always happy to add one more (or two, if that's what you mean by double!!).
Double number of subs per author?
Double number of unnecessary chicken crossing the road jokes per story?
Double Edged Publishing?
OK, I give up...

| Posted By : crystalwizard - 1/14/2008 5:52 PM | Let's see. What should you be trying to write... ummm... stories?
Actually, Gustavo, I want you to come up with something that tops Great Hairy Boats and makes Mike Turner literally fall off his chair, laughing. Think you're up to it?

| Posted By : Gustavo - 1/14/2008 6:50 PM | I can try! But is injuring Mike really the best road to publication?
I sent him a couple of other stories in the same universe in an attempt to do this. If he likes those, I promise to write and send as many as you can buy. If he doesn't, I have an idea for another one, which might do the trick and which I'll definitely try to get written as soon as possible.

Not injuring him, but he bounces well.

if you sent them to him, he hasn't said a word about it to me. When did you send them to him? |
| Posted By : Gustavo - 1/15/2008 11:51 AM | Aaaargh! Sent the sequel and threequel to Great Hariy Boats on November 28th... Obviously unreceived. Email gremlins!!!
No problem, I'll resend right away to the FS email.
Thanks for the Heads Up!

Nope, didn't get them. If you don't get an acknowledgment back from me within 2 days that I received yoru submission, contact me here. I ALWAYS respond within hours. Evidently, the FS email has been flaky for a while now. |
