Compilation Update

Thank you to everyone who took the time to write up a story for the compilation and to donate to the Special Olympics!

There is a slight delay in the compilation's production. I will be spending time this evening working out a few final kinks in the presentation and formatting, and will send the compilation out tomorrow afternoon.

I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you to everyone in advance for your patience! I can say that things are coming along beautifully and I expect everyone will enjoy the compilation when it goes out!

New Graphics Coming Soon

Happy Monday! :)

In the next few days we will have new graphics coming for the blog, including a new banner and new contributing author buttons.

Until these graphics arrive, we are asking that contributing authors and anyone using our banner please remove the images from your websites or blogs. Feel free to keep your posts up and we will post an update as soon as the new graphics arrive.

Thank you very much for your continued support and for your assistance with this! We're getting very excited by the number of authors signed up to contribute and because the compilation release date is getting closer and closer.

Three New Authors + Resource

Happy St. Paddy's Day to all! Try not to get too wild when you're shaking your shamrock tonight! ;)

Please give a warm welcome to our three newest contributing authors:

Arc Morpheus
prongsie4ever
walkingwithgiants

Please visit the Contributing Authors page for information on all authors that have signed up to contribute to the compilation and to see what fandoms they will be writing for!

We'd also like to take this time to let everyone know that @Frankielynn_r has volunteered to act as a pre-reader for all of our contributing authors. I did a little asking of her, because I had no idea what a pre-reader was (go figure!), and it appears that pre-readers are here to offer creative advice and give their opinion on the creative content of the story. So, it's not beta servicing where you get edits and all that jazz, but more like having someone to bounce your plot lines, character development, etc. etc. off of. (Frankie, if I'm wrong, please correct me. :)) Shoot her a line on Twitter if you're interested in having anything pre-read.

So far, fans have contributed $135 towards the Special Olympics! We'd like to take this time to thank everyone who has donated and who is contributing a piece of writing to the compilation, and to everyone who has pimped the compilation on Twitter, blogged about it on their site, etc. etc. Please continue to spread the word - Our goal is raise $1,000 in donations for the Special Olympics by June 14, 2012!

Thank you again to all of our contributing authors and to those who have donated! We will continue to keep you updated on the compilation as more authors sign up and more donations come in!
