Over in the writing forum we're tossing around a new idea. It's an anthology of short stories inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. All members of the forum and their friends (and whoever else) are allowed to submit for consideration in the anthology. Ideally, I'd like to include 22 short stories in the book. It will be posted for free on the upload page and probably linked as a free/creative commons work in other ebook distributors.
If this takes off and people like it, I'd love to do other ones featuring public domain works in our library here. Don't write but can make pretty pictures? The same guidelines apply!
Submissions will close March 1, 2010. Hopefully it will be put out to the masses by the end of March. Full guidelines appear below.
Here's a list of MR Authors that have already decided to play with us!

Maybe a mod can make this more visible?
