Anthology Check-In!
By Valkyrie
Now that the Secret Author contest is behind us, it's time to focus on our next site event... the annual Anthology! We have two themes this year - Horizons and Unspoken. Which one is speaking to you? Or are they both? There's just about a month to go before the deadline to submit stories to me for the Proof Team to do their magic. I've already had some stories come in, and I'm excited to see what else this anthology brings. So, raise your hands... who's got something in the works for us?- 4 comments

Chris, you submit the stories to your own site, but don't publish them in any way. Just get a copy of the link for the story or stories and send it to Valkyrie (it wwould also be smart to tell her which theme it is for) and she'll take care of including your story or stories in the anthology under the correct theme.
