Okay, who turned off the power so they don't have to listen to me sing? :angry:

 

I can take a hint though! :)

There may have been a technical glitch with the poll not allowing people to comment. That glitch, mainly me :unsure:

 

Hopefully it is fixed now.

I wasn't offered the opportunity to comment ... <_< I'll do it here instead. The only slight downside to the staggered release of the stories is the loss of occasion. That tan-tan-tara moment when they're all released. Given the number of stories this time around, I think we would have staggered under the onslaught if they had all appeared at once.

Are you you also to blame for the big black box underneath the poll, Val? I assume it's a link to a video, but I get nothing but a black screen. :/

It's not a video.  It's Steve illustrating his power outage :gikkle:

Must be hell being snowed in for the next six months in the dark. I'll think of him next time I pop a brewski by the pool. :devil:

I'm the odd one out with the anthologies, I loved having a long list of new stories to read.  I guess I'm just too impatient.

I like having smaller batches, but another reason it's a good idea is that all the anthology stories will get time on the Top Stories list and therefore be more visible to readers.

Well, maybe that's just as well, since no one has done any stories for a while. ( @Carlos Hazday and @Parker Owens I'm looking at you :lol: ).  But Renee will probably do one of your stories if you poke her gently (or offer to babysit ;) ).

No one wants to critique me, I must scare the hell out of everyone.  :lol:
