Something Ness just said in the poetry book thread gave me this idea...why don't we have a short story book as well as a poetry book?

I probably should have talked with some people higher up before making this thread, but hey! That's not how I did it with the poetry book, is it? ;) So, what *I* plan on doing is as follows: We see first two things, 1.) how the poetry book does, and 2.) how many people we get in support of this volume. Then if all looks good we can proceed in a similar manner as the poetry book.

Note: We wouldn't start any work at all on this book until the poetry book is COMPLETELY finished. Then, we MAY begin work on this one. :)

I think a few people have mentioned this. :) I, for one, would like to be assistant or something. . .

Oh good, that'll give me time to write some of the short stories I had planned. Also, we could include some of the stories written from pictures!

All resemblance to persons, people, friends, relatives, quotes, cultures, artificial intelligences, inside jokes, pets, unclaimed personalities, sentient objects, extra-terrestrials, inter-terrestrials, and draperies living, dead, undead, or comatose in any of my work are purely coincidental, incidental, circumstantial, inadvertent, unplanned, unforeseen, and unintentional. There's seriously no way I was referring to you. Honest.

The story so far:
Birthright: Eleventh chapter pending. 28280 words.
Heritage: First chapter drafted.

Actually, it's already been planned as a future project.

But maybe we can go ahead and start discussing it. :cool:

Ness mentioned the short story book because I told her it was in the works, Little E. The poetry book must be fully completed first, before we begin any plans, not that you guys can't discuss it and let us know who would like to join us. :D

*is not positive what Brendan is talking about, since she has not seen anything in the Chambers that said we weren't doing the book *

*hollers for Tim* Elanhil started your thread!!

This is confuzzling, three Council members and two Marcher Lords all with different opinions on where this is going... Here's my interpretation.

It's an officially Council Sanctioned Project. Timotheus is in charge. It is currently in the brainstorming stages, or it would have been as soon as Tim started a thread. *points to first comment*

When the poetry book is done we'll open this book for submissions. Basically, you have a green light. :D

I can't wait, either. :)

We're probably going along with the e-book format again, correct?

E-book and Supply on Demand, I believe would be the formats.

Print-on-Demand. :D

Sorry, couldn't help myself. :rofl:

Um, look at the poetry book. It will probably be done exactly the same, only better, because we'll know a little more what we're doing by then.

I thought it was POD! Then I wasn't sure... so I figured Supply worked. :D

Hey, I just joined and I'd love to join in and be a part of the short story and poetry book. You can count on me ;)

I have a bunch of great ideas that I'd like to share , but first off, if you do make a short story book, it should have sections like... dragons and each other should have their own section in the section, if you know what I mean. Also I have my own topic for my book that I'm writing and I could use some advice :cool:

Thanks, and I can't wait to see where this heads off to. :)
