Now THAT is a basis for a really good story. I wonder what the protagonist will do!?!

So, can we get a status update? Did we get more submissions? Will Saif and Zuk find love? Does flojin know that Faust is secretly his long-lost first wife, Esmerelda, posing as a man and seeking to win him back through coercion, force and a vintage 1977 edition of Tunnells and Trolls? Is there a god? How many gods are there? Hello? Hello?

Hello?

It's weird how spambots sometimes speak the truths that are too hard for the rest of us to express.

Hey Kaja!

Saif and I have the stories that were submitted. I also have one in there!!

We're spending two weeks to read them and then we'll discuss. As a writer, I know what it feels like to toil away at a story, send it in, and then hear...nothing. I apologize for the delay in the update!

We're both busy as hell, that's why you've heard nothing. It's not a reflection of the stories or our opinions at all, as I haven't read them all yet.

But we like the number of stories we got, and our goal is to look them all over and think about them as a collection. It's unlikely that we're going to reject any stories. We might suggest edits, but we have to see after we've read them all and discussed them how best to put them together in an ebook and sell it to the world!

Thanks for everyone who sent in stories, and we'll update you in two weeks after we've read and talked about your work.

<knock knock>

Hi, sorry I've been away. Looks like a there's been a good amount of activity on the collection!
I've been in Tablet publishing Heck for the last four months and, as can be expected, have thrown writing out the car window in favor of sleep.
Iffin ya still need layout/design help, I'm here as much as I can be.

Hey guys,

A few people have offered to help with the cover design and I'm starting to finalizing the the e-book stage, and am looking for some art at this point. I'm looking for some original work and design - photography, modified or otherwise, would be my preference, but pitch me an idea anyway!

The basic premise is that the city is very, very obviously different and yet people in the street carries on as if nothing is wrong.

If you'd like to help out, please email me at saif.gm@gmail.com.

Thanks!

PS: I realize movement on this has been a bit slow, but this Summer has turned out to be the busiest in my living memory and right now I'm living in a (most likely) sold apartment, with nowhere to move to, so that's exciting and not at all scary! :D

But this project will see the light of glorious day, and with enough luck, I intend to continue doing this regularly.

Thanks again for your patience.
