ATTN, LAZY BASTARDS: TOMORROW IS OCTOBER 1st.

That is the deadline for submissions to the Audio Book of the Dead.

I currently do not have enough to publish.  The best I can manage with what I have is a booklet to throw up on kindle or whatnot.

I'd prefer to do an annual "best of" that has a print copy option (After the MSY debacle, only prepaid orders will be accepted and sent to print, by the way), but I need about twice as much material as I have.

Here's the deal.  YOU put up what YOU consider to be your best work.  If you like someone else's shit, tell them to submit it.

All profits will go to Faust, for the purpose of maintaining this board, and all rights will remain with the author, "Used by permission".  That means once you give permission, I can put it in the book for any number of printings, but ONLY in this issue.  You own it other than that.  Consider carefully, because once permission is given, it can't be retracted.

It's going to take me a couple of months to get it into printable format, if enough material is submitted, and orders will be taken between November 15th and December 5th.  Otherwise, I'll just heave it up on Kindle at the end of the year, and you can order it there.  A kindle version will be available either way, but if a print edition is run, the kindle version won't be up until February 1st.

All manner of visual art or writing is welcome, but bear in mind that this will NOT be a color issue.

That is all.

ETA:  Author's credits will be attributed, of course.

ETA 2:  Editing will consist of formatting, proof-reading, etc.  No changes will be made to the wording of any submission unless requested.

How much more material do you need?

I want 180 pages, minimum.  I'd prefer not to use more than 2-3 pages from any one piece of work, though I will use any amount of material from any one person.

hmm... Most of my "good stuff" has already appeared in Intermittens or been submitted to other writing projects like the prophetica discordia... I want to help, but I'm kind of at a loss for what else to post...

any suggestions, people?

Adios

I think you already took what I consider to be some of my best work.

I see no problem with re-using material.  This IS a "best of", as I said.  Right now, I'm accepting anything written up to and including tomorrow, no matter where it has previously appeared, or how old it is.

Next year, I will only be accepting work done between October 2d, 2010, and October 1, 2011.

You're welcome to use this if you think it will work with the "no colour" thing but somehow I doubt it, but hey, its on offer so do with it as you will.

- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

If you're happy with the amount you've contributed, no sweat.  I'm just letting people know that the deadline is tommorow.

Fred needs to submit some artwork.  Or I'll stomp on a kitten.

Can't see that from this comp.  There's a submissions thread in bring & brag.

those are good, lys, but you're not going to be able to make out the text in grayscale... If you did them with a border around them or something it might work better.Not a lot of foreground/background contrast as it is

Yeah, I kinda thought that, but I don't have much else to contribute atm... oh maybe one other thing actually now that I think about it, something I started but I never really finished but I don't know if I ever intended to finish, I think it's better as an unfinished work...

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:
