It's too bad this didn't work out, I'm sure it would have been awesome. I hope you give it another try eventually once you garner more publicity. You certainly got a good chunk of the pledge!
I just wanted to say I'm sorry it looks like this one isn't going to fly. I spread it around where possible, and I love the idea, so it's a sad one.
Maybe something you'd be willing to try pitching again in future to see what the waters are like? I'm not sure whether there's rules against trying something again, once more with feeling...
Hello! I heard about the anthology through the Alpha workshop. I think it's a great project and I hope everything works out!
Aaron, thanks for your support, and for spreading the word! And I'd be happy to try out your recipe or mix and match your cookies. ^_^
Oh, and I spread the word as well to all my social networks.
I can't decide between chocolate chip, raisin spice, or oatmeal... I have a personal recipe that combines all three. ;-) Good luck!!
Thanks for your support! ^_^ And I appreciate you spreading the word!
My fingers are crossed and I am spreading the word! ....and working on a short story to go in it hopefully.
Thank you both so much!!! I'm so excited to actually have backers!!!
As a long time reader of both Jamie's personal fiction and the works she's helped edit I can not wait to see this anthology come to fruition. The world needs more short stories, and short stories with happy endings? My bookcase has a spot reserved already.
I love sci-fi anthologies!! I especially like the idea of one that has a more positive outlook! ^_^
