MasterHQ Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 When we get the approved list finished I may request your full piece. But that is some weeks down the road. We also dont want 19 10k word stories, more for our sake editing than anything. I will let you know.

Monstra Sumus Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 When we get the approved list finished I may request your full piece. But that is some weeks down the road. We also dont want 19 10k word stories, more for our sake editing than anything. I will let you know.  That's entirely understandable my friend, I'm happy for it to stay at the 3k, I just don't know how the end paragraphs come off to someone else. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291820-fanthology-lots-of-work-yet-to-do/page/2/#findComment-3713459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 I didn't think it was too abrupt, honestly. And either way, we'll have plenty of time for additional drafts so if that's something that needs to be addressed, we'll have a chance to do so. :DÂ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291820-fanthology-lots-of-work-yet-to-do/page/2/#findComment-3713611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Happy to help! I'll be out of town for the next week on vacation, so don't think that I'm ignoring any PMs or tags during that time! I simply won't see them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291820-fanthology-lots-of-work-yet-to-do/page/2/#findComment-3717379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffTibbetts Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Just checking in to let you know I'm still cranking away on reading the submissions. I appreciate your patience, as we all have day jobs that sometimes turn into night jobs as well. :DÂ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291820-fanthology-lots-of-work-yet-to-do/page/2/#findComment-3718065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterHQ Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Soon helterskelter. Jeff and I are still reading subs. Then once we have an approved list we go to first/next draft and then peer review.

Deus Imperator Vult Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 EDIT: Added Vult to the list. His email got screwed up the first time around. Also, thanks, Ludo, for putting them in order. Gratitude brother glad the hear the resend made it through. Hope you're enjoying the reading rather than cursing us all for the weight of words. So are we introducing ourselves here? Like Hi, I'm Deus and I abhor the witch aha anyway looking forward to working with you all.

Son of Carnelian Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Phew! I up there! Massively exciting for me personally. I hope I make it into the final text. Anyway, I cannot wait to meet everyone and discuss our stories! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291820-fanthology-lots-of-work-yet-to-do/page/2/#findComment-3727623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Okay. The reading and commenting phase is drawing to a close. I've given everything a good read, as has MasterHQ. I'll be conferring with him and then we'll start contacting the writers and setting up initial feedback sessions.  First impressions: We are, unsurprisingly, a very talented and original group of writers with fascinating ideas. Where are all the renegades and chaos cultists? BL is so good at 30K that we must not want to get into those waters. Who knew how much we all love librarians, and how fascinated we are by the Inquisition? This. Is. Going. To. ROCK! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291820-fanthology-lots-of-work-yet-to-do/page/2/#findComment-3728486 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Carnelian Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014  Where are all the renegades and chaos cultists?  That is surprising. I would have thought we would have had TONS of those stories, since we have so many awesome and creative Chaos fans on the board. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291820-fanthology-lots-of-work-yet-to-do/page/2/#findComment-3728599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014  Where are all the renegades and chaos cultists?  I've got some. Well... they'd be rebels at the time.  BL is so good at 30K that we must not want to get into those waters.  My story is set during the heresy (whether or not it's apparent in the notes, I can't remember). I don't know about the rest of you.  Who knew how much we all love librarians, and how fascinated we are by the Inquisition?  Now that is interesting...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'm sorry that I just found this. I've had quite a few ideas for short stories for some time now. Ah, well. Can't wait to see what the others have written. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291820-fanthology-lots-of-work-yet-to-do/page/2/#findComment-3728675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andurin Marvak Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I could switch out one of my ideas for another involving a Chaos Lord devoted to Malal.....by the way, which idea are you guys using, or did you just want me to go ahead and try to write both? Honestly, I could theoretically do all three, since the one focusing on Chaos is pretty much one dude brooding in his throne room and getting interrupted by something once or twice. It by nature would have to be short or it would get exhausting far too fast.

I would have thought we would have had TONS of those stories, since we have so many awesome and creative Chaos fans on the board. Yeah, that's exactly what I thought. Based on the modeling boards I thought we'd have tons of both 30K and chaos stuff, but really they were quite few. They showed up in a lot of stories but not as the protagonists. I'm sorry that I just found this. I've had quite a few ideas for short stories for some time now. Ah, well. Can't wait to see what the others have written. Don't worry, man. If this goes as well as I think it will, I want this to become the first in a series. :D I could switch out one of my ideas for another involving a Chaos Lord devoted to Malal.....by the way, which idea are you guys using, or did you just want me to go ahead and try to write both? Honestly, I could theoretically do all three, since the one focusing on Chaos is pretty much one dude brooding in his throne room and getting interrupted by something once or twice. It by nature would have to be short or it would get exhausting far too fast. Not sure which story yet. MasterHQ is doing some homework (thanks, man!) so we can see just how much of what we've got. I'll consider your offer though, because MALAL! That poor guy (or god) is probably never going to get any official fluff again so it's up to us now. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291820-fanthology-lots-of-work-yet-to-do/page/2/#findComment-3729039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't complain least we have a theme for the next anthology as the thing I found hard about this was our brief was just write a short story about 40K. With such a rich and massive universe that's kinda hard .... I need boundaries man BOUNDARIES!!!!!!

With such a rich and massive universe that's kinda hard .... I need boundaries man BOUNDARIES!!!!!! You know what? You're completely right. I'm the same way. All my finest creative work comes from having strictly defined limits and challenges. For something like this, though, at least initially, all bets were off. We HAD to see what you all could come up with, and it worked brilliantly. Maybe next time around we will be more prescriptive now that we've begun to establish a framework. I actually briefly considered making this first version all about loyalists and making the next one chaos, but opted not to. It's just not fair for the inaugural one.

CommodusXIII Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm willing to bet that, now that you've indicated a relative lack of Chaos work, you'll be inundated with it next time around.

Even if it's not all-or-nothing it'd be nice if the next is a bit heavier on the chaos.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I went the renegade route, rather than full-on Chaos - although if there was ever a future version of my tale then full on Chaos is a possibility.

embalancer Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ok we're getting a little side tracked here with Anothlogy #2 (when chaos comes to call). When we still need to do #1 (Giving Libbys the love they deserve ... and other stories). But seriously whats the next step Jeff?
