New Fantasy Anthology (aka the DISTAFF women again...)

Millymollymo (finished and read by KB, but might want the rest of the group to read it as well)

Faffing with comma overdose and as a result sentence structure. Also lots of stuff imploding IRL right now means I'm struggling to find time. This too shall pass.

 

[Mad Alice]

Well, if someone wanted to volunteer ...!

I could draw you up a fox if you still need the beastie.

 

[The Judge]

Thanks! We're sorting all about images at the moment, and it all looks to be under control, but if we need back-up, we might call on you!

 

[The Judge]

We really, really need to make a profit on the anthology!

As I may have mentioned a couple of hundred times, the symbol for my story is a fox. Last week when the Judicial Helpmeet and I were single-handedly saving the economy at various shopping locales, we popped into a wonderful arty-crafty gallery and I spotted this:

It's not as beautiful as the cushion which I've already spent my hoped-for royalties on, but that message -- THIS FOX HAS MANY TRICKS -- is absolutely perfect for the story!

Only a couple of hundred times? You're slipping...

 

[The Judge]

I'm definitely slipping -- I've not bought anything fox-y nor mentioned foxes anywhere in months!

So, I refer you all to anivid's post here: https://www.sffchronicles.com/threads/560388/page-1249#post-2440526

 

[Serendipity]

I know, I know, it's all been too quiet on Femmes Fae-Tales front... Life, Dreams, Fantasising, you name it, it has got in the way.

Rest assured work has been going behind the scenes. Stories have been edited... progress is being made... more in the new year...

 

[The Judge]

Meanwhile, I know everyone will want to hear how my fox collection is getting on!

Here's a recent purchase:

[Phyrebrat]

We should cover this on the podcast ! Why haven’t we? @Dan Jones

 

[The Judge]

Definitely you should be covering it!

We're not sure yet exactly when FFT will be launched, but well before that I'll be bending your ear about doing something for it, either with a full-blown talk with one of us** or just a short freebie advert from me nattering for a few minutes.


** The final line up of authors and artists -- all of us Chronners, of course -- is:

• allmywires
• Guanazee
• Jo Zebedee
• Juliana
• Kerrybuchanan
• millymollymo
• Mouse
• Serendipity
• Susan Boulton
• me

And we've got the most perfect Introduction from Teresa.

 

[Phyrebrat]

Okay. So…

Not:
Jo, you, Kerry, Juliana, mouse, in fact, none of you voted for me in the last 75 so I think what’s probably best is if Dan and I just talk about it ourselves from a very patriarchal point of view… cool?

I shall work on phrases like ‘I think what the author is trying to say is…’ how about that?

And no, I’ve not touched a drop of wine (yet)

May I pour you a delicious red - this one carries the hint of sourness in its grapes

 

[Phyrebrat]

I only do red with food. You’ll need to come with the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc if you want to catch me

Oh dear.... I said with Distaff that the chaps should bring out their own anthology... nothing transpired... as always the ladies do all the real work...

And that is why I think women should run the world (they do really )

 

[Serendipity]

Progress is active and ongoing on the anthology - looks extremely likely it will be published this year... more announcements as and when we're ready.

 

[johnnyjet]

Looking forward to it.

 

[Parson]

Me too.

 

[Serendipity]

Just a quick note to reassure you good people... progress has been made over the last month on the new anthology... so we're still looking good for publication sometime this year.

 

[Serendipity]

Of all the crazy things to happen...

To identify what issues I had to deal with I did a draft upload to kindle of Femmes Fae-Tales today. Kindle told me it had 13 possible spelling errors.
