Hey everyone, sorry it's been so long but life keeps getting in the way. I've read through the stories a few times and am hoping to get e-mails out to everyone in the next week or two. I'm sure I'll say it in the e-mails, but just in case I don't: If you don't agree with any of the suggestions I'm making, please, for the love of God, say something! Don't just let me change your words because you're too timid.
Also, does anyone have contact information for "Bram E. Gieben"? (I don't even know who that is.) I have a few notes for him but I don't have his e-mail.
PS: If I don't have any suggestions for your story I'll send you an e-mail letting you know that too. Please feel free to harass me about getting this done.
Thanks, Steve. I have one or two left to go through (I honestly have no idea why I haven't done them yet... life gets away from me a little bit, but I really have had the time... I feel bad about that) and there's a couple of people that I'm waiting to hear back from. Once I send off the last couple I'll e-mail everyone that I'm waiting on. Work has been silly stupid lately so coming home and editing / correcting people's mistakes really isn't something that I want to be doing right now. I've been in a shit mood and it would really show in how critical I would be and how analytical I would be, thereby losing the personalities of the stories.
Depending on friends, I may be free this weekend to finish them off.
Okay, once again, sorry about how long this is taking. I need opinions from everyone that has made a contribution to "Getting There". How do you guys want it published? As a physical book? Just on Amazon? (If on Amazon, how much should it be?)
I haven't heard back from everyone about the edits, I think I'm going to e-mail all of them again at one time so that as I get answers back I'll finalize the edits and save them in a separate folder. (I think I only heard back from one of you, actually...)
Published: I think it'd work nicely as a book, personally, but I understand that that's a whole 'nother series of hoops to jump through first.
Cover: This is what I'd have as a rough sketch, modified to fit certain *ahem* regime changes in the interim :)
I was trying to give it this look like an old '60's era map I saw of a pass through the Rocky Mountains when I was a little kid. Obviously, I'll spruce it up and add in all the other names, but how does this work as a basic concept?
Hey Alan, I'm not seeing the cover pic. Anyone else having the same issue?
In terms of how it's published, I can access it either way, but having a physical copy available would be cool. Also, the problem with doing it through Amazon is that you are not allowed to release it in other e-formats for some pre-determined amount of time (which I forget right now). Let me know if you want some assistance laying out a physical version.
