TrekBBS Writing Challange E-Book

[Kaziarl]

I'm thinking of making an E-Book with all the winning entries for the monthly challenges, kind of our own SNW collection. These would be compiled on a yearly basis, and a copy would be sent to each person participating in the challenges, and anyone else who is interested free of charge. Only the writers giving me permission will be used of course, and if you are interested I need to know if you want your real name, which can be PM'ed to me, or your TrekBBS name. I will also be taking suggestions for cover art, and if you're suggestion is chosen, you will of course get credit for it.

 

[Mistral]

You can use mine. Mistral aka (real name). See PM.

If you're feeling magnanimous, you can release it for the Trek Twelve Days of Christmas, 2009, too.

 

[Kaziarl]

That was the plan actually. Since the first challange in this thread was in Nov 05, I was going to do them from november to october of each year, releasing the following december. So the one for this year would be Nov 08- Oct 09, Being put up for people to have hopefully around the 1st of december.

I would personally collect nov '05 through dec '06 in a single volume and then do 2007 and 2008 in seperate volumes. You could release three volumes right away and then the '09 collection could be put out in january.

I'll think of something. As it stands, I'm still waiting for permission from the authors.

 

[Aaron McGuire]

If this thing does get off the ground, how will you be publishing it? PDF? Something else?

a .lit e-book. Although if you don't have microsoft reader I can probably do a pdf as well.

 

[RevdKathy]

You could probably convert it to .DOC too, for reading on palm equipment. Not so sure about the other e-book formats

.rtf (rich text format) works well with the Sony PRS readers.

 

[Starkers]

I'd have no problem with this!

 

[hellsgate]

I'm always down for that. I hereby give Kaziarl absolute permission to use, edit, convert to more useful formats (such as ".pdf",) any and/or all, (in part and/or in whole) "Star Trek: Vonnegut" and/or "Star Trek: Mandela" references from my own "Star Trek: New Worlds" anthology site, in addition to anything and everything I write for monthly challenges.

Real Name: Jason K. Hauck
