Finally getting somewhere with the anthologies. I waded through the joys of Word2007 and section headings (each section with different heading, and different headings for odd and even pages within each section). Once you learn a few important and unadvertised tricks life becomes much easier.
So Assassin's Creed has been sent to my assistant editor for perusal while I put together Farspace 2. FS2 should be essentially a cut and paste job, since I now have the template from Assassin's Creed.
However, couldn't contact the artist who's image I originally wanted for the cover of Assassin's Creed, so I'm preparing one myself. Meanwhile, the image for Farspace 2 is ready and I only await return of the edits, so I have some idea of the page count (and hence spine width) before I put the text on the cover. I'll be sure to post the covers when they are ready.
I must admit, while Farspace 3 will remain within Writing.Com, I'm thinking of taking the anthology to the larger world. I quite like the idea of having an annual anthology. If I do, I'll have to decide whether to keep the title as Farspace, or change it.
So, at the moment, it looks like Assassin's Creed and Farspace 2 are on track to be released in October. Then I'll try and sort out the authors/stories for Time's Edge and better advertise Future Britain (thinking about some changes there...).
But remember, November is NaNoWriMo time! I'm already planning out the next offering: Poisonous Garden (no teasers though).
Light and longevity.
