Has everyone read the "ANNOUNCEMENT" thread up at the top of the page?

How freaking cool is that? I think Nanci and Chris (JD) deserve a huge shout-out.

I definitely want to come up with something to submit for this.

And apologies for starting a new thread, but the Announcement thread is locked. I have a question, though. Are the post-apocalyptic/Ferris wheel stories we write for Nanci's contest eligible for this? For example, if Keith's story wins and is published on Horror World, would it be included in the anthology? Or if my story doesn't win the contest, could it still be under consideration for the anthology?

Thanks again - Horror World rocks!! :hi

I don't see why they shouldn't be included if Chris likes them.

Not sure why the thread is locked. It may be because it's a "Global" announcement.

Nice project guys! It's good to see Chris involved!

The announcement said stories over the word count will be accepted if the quality is there, I have a story that is 7900 words, is that too far over the word count?

Thanks, and good luck with this!

I'm kind of like this -

But I'm also -

because my mind is currently a huge vat of blancmange. I'd better get into short story gear, and pronto. This; the ferris wheel thingy...

Hyperventilation aside, thanks to Chris and Nanci, and I hope we don't end up burying you in the slushpile of doom.

Thanks gals and guys.

Any story submitted will be considered. Even the Ferris Wheel ones.

Tony, 7900 is quite a bit over the limit. But I would take it if I was blown away.

Spread the word far and wide!!

Subcontracted slushpile reader: "I figured I'd be buried up to the neck in zombies and vampires, but instead it's ferris wheels! What's wrong with you people?!"

Chris gets to read all the zombie stories

Even Mr. Stephens ones?

Ferris? Ferris?
Ok, how about an old man sitting in a rotting car at the top of a wisteria-choked ferris wheel, staring at the sunset and lamenting the loss of movies in this post-apocolyptic world, muttering to himself, "Beuller ... Beuller..." No? Ok, how about....

Ferris Wheeler takes a day off and the whole world goes to hell.

Excited to have received our first submission tonight!

Oh wow... I guess the rest of us had better get cracking.

Well, at least I know it wasn't Janet or I. Maybe Jill already submitted something. I hear she's got crazy mad skills when it comes to typing.

Unfortunately, Jill is busy.

I'm not quite sure what Mr. TT Zuma did to deserve it, but right now she's filling his (and everyone else's) G+ stream with hideous and unmanly pink and purple flowers. I'm waiting for the ban hammer to come down.

I think I may have an idea for this one, but I need to finish the ferris wheel story first.

Confidence level about both hovering in negative numbers at the moment.

Work on one really good one, and submit it for both.

Or combine them somehow.

Thad, you put out some good prose when we did the short story thingy. Go with the flow, see where it takes you. We have plenty of time (she says, biting her nails).

If this anthology gets any more publicity, my chances of being accepted are going to dwindle down to nothing...

How about we keep talking each other off the ledge?

I hope you can find a little time to do one story or the other, Craig.

Holy crap!!!
