    Well, unless there's a bit more interest in it, it may not go for over a month ^^ Currently there's only three nominations, and only I have 'liked' one of them.

    Though I don't mind running it for a while (even if I end up only talking to myself) as interest could wax and wane in it, I suppose. I don't mind doing the work for it with little to no participation, I just don't want to be a bother, I guess.

    People will join. Maybe you should start with Game of Thrones for the first open discussion?

    Underpromise. Overdeliver. Not the other way around. We don't want people constantly asking, "Where's that anthology we were promised?" or thinking, "There's some really good reviews here, but the project is a failure because there's not enough for that anthology they want."

    Let's see the reviews, see what we get, and then think of ambitions that are closer to being in-line with what we're seeing.

    And you never know. There are better possibilities than publishing an anthology. But we don't want to get ahead of ourselves.

    And we're up and running! Sort of. I've a few more posts to make, but the process thread and the template are posted.

    How's it look? Now is the time to nitpick.

    Quick Update: I finished the Book yesterday, and I'm about halfway through the Book Review. Hoping to have a draft to share tomorrow or the next day.

    Happy to hear it. Be sure to take a look at the updated template and process and stuff in the Review Team thread. The big goal right now is to see how well that stuff works.

    Okay I just finished the review and it is Kick-Ass, if I may say so myself.

    so... WHAT NOW???

    i have totally been absent from this thread and from MS in general for the past two weeks or so while my life has become increasingly busier and the book and its review hung over me. but now i'm back.

    do i post it here? in my portfolio? what's the next step? i need a refresher and an update.

    Awesome Phin!

    Start a new thread in the Book Review subforum for it, and we'll all take a look.
