ENnies - Ceramic DM Fundraiser -- Now ON SALE!

And here I thought you were soliciting new stories :)

Well, I do have a slight ulterior motive. I'm curious to see how interested folks are in buying fiction from board members. I wouldn't mind selling compilations of new short stories for profit if the fundraiser shows that people here are cool with pdf fiction. Sowho knows, I might be asking for new stories from folks. But that's a ways off.

That would be very cool. :)

I know in my stories I always tried to describe the pictures, so they should work without the actual illustrations, although I'm not sure if there are still copyright issues with that.
 


A consensus has been reached. Since this product is not a gaming product, it isn't even a concern for the awards, so submitting something to the Ceramic DM Fundraiser will not disqualify you from judging the ENnies.

So, time to get things back into gear.
 

Alright, here's what I'm looking for:

We're probably going to have one book for each competition, with 12 to 16 stories. If we can get two stories that went up against each other, that'd be preferable. I'm guessing we'll end up with 4 matched pairs, and then 4 to 8 random entries. If we get more than 16 entries from a single competition, we'll put the extra ones in a Ceramic DM Sampler. I just want to keep each book to less than novel size if possible. *wink*

I'd like the final four from each Ceramic DM competition to contribute at least one story, if they're willing. I, as editor of this competition, will refrain from including any of my own work.

Each book will include a link to each competition and all the stories in full. The idea is that people buy the books to get a nice, printer friendly version of the stories, and if they're interested in more we encourage them to come by.

Any other suggestions?

Please send submissions in .doc or .rtf format to RangerWickett@hotmail.com with the subject: ENnies Ceramic - {story title}. And if you could, please in the document, include on the first page a word count, your name (or how you'd like to be attributed), and the specific competition you submitted the story for.

We'll be accepting submissions until Friday, June 17, but the sooner you get it in, the better. {Quick aside: the way RPGNow works, any sales we make in July, we'll receive payment in the middle of August, which leaves us precious little time to use it for the awards on August 19th} Depending on the volume of response, we hope to release the first compilation by the end of June.
 


A little clarification, please -- do you want the final four stories from each Ceramic DM, or the authors who participated in the final-fours to submit any story of their choosing? And how much editing will you want/permit? I'm appalled at some of the stupid typos I've noticed going back for the first time in a while :o

Oh, and are you sure you don't want to include this story? :p
 

I'd like the authors who were in the final four to submit at least one story from that competition, though not necessarily their finals or semifinals story.

Editing is fine and encouraged. Don't go over the top -- you're not getting paid for this, so only make edits that you feel the work really needs for the sake of avoiding shame. *grin*
