That looks like a nice mix of themes.  Thanks to everyone involved in picking them.

 

Who knows, this neanderthal might even come up with a poetry submission **civilised people beware** 

[Sasha Distan]

is it too much to write a "Blackout" entry a year in advance?

[Ron]

is it too much to write a "Blackout" entry a year in advance?

I'd say it would be good to have one on the back burner and ready to go.

[Kitt]

IDK - Knowing Sasha he might just end up tinkering with the story on multiple occasions between now and submission!

I'm new to this group, what's the anthology themes all about?

[andrewmcquinn]

Found it.

Spring Anthology: Full Circle - Due March 3rd

 

Working title is Nightfall.

[Cole Matthews]

I Have two options at this point. A story that ends sad or a new beginnings story.  Full circles is so broad and open. Yikes! 

[Aditus]

If everything goes as planned it will be the first part of the book 'Clockwise' (working title as James so nice put it), and it's called 'Three'.

[Carlos Hazday]

Working on it...

 

'Been Here Before'

[Caz Pedroso]

Working title is Nightfall.

 

sound's more like the Blackout  Theme but can't wait to read it anyway.

 

I'm determined to get at least two in this time.   I missed all the deadlines this year due to things happening each time.

i might be able to work with a couple of these. lets see how busy i get this year.

[andrewmcquinn]

I'm so excited for this!

[craftingmom]

Hmmm, These sound so interesting.  I didn't really know what the anthology was until late November (so there was no way I could come up with something for the winter one, well, maybe I could have....but anyway...)  I think it'd be fun to try to write something for it.  But first I need to focus on finishing my current story--before getting sidetracked by starting something new...  But maybe when I'm done with the sequel to the neko story, I think I'd like to tackle the challenge of the anthology.    

[andrewmcquinn]

I am so happy for this, I got this book on meditation with writing exercises that coincide with each meditation. Can't wait to share my work with others!!!

[comicfan]

Well, halfway through the year and made the two regular anthologies. So not ready for poetry again so now trying to decided about Blurred Edges. Hmmm. I want to knock this out sooner rather than later. My health shouldn't interfere with everything.

[craftingmom]

Since I've never attempted the anthology themes before, are there any rules/guidelines that I need to keep in mind?  Min/Max length, number of chapters, etc?   Are they the same as the ones I see in the Summer Anthology?  I'm just assuming they would be....

Renee's first post is pretty much the standard guide to getting Anthology stories accepted.

Thanks Krista!

Blackout? Damn still no ideas.
