- DON'T attach the stories to your posts. I see Dr. Drib already removed one of them. I didn't realise that this would be seen as author promotion outside of the proper subforum.
- Indeed, a minimum of 80,000 words (~200 paperback pages) is the target of the entire anthology.
- I hope to get 10 participants, allocating 20 pages to each.
- The above statement means that each participant will be allocated 8,000 words to be used for one or more stories.
- Minimum length of one story: 4,000 words, ~ 10 pages
- Maximum length of one story: 8,000 words, ~20 pages
- Each author may contribute one or two stories, using the number of words between them as you see fit. The number of words is a guideline.
- If there are less than 10 participants, the number of stories per author or amount of allocated words could become larger.

I can imagine that people might want to share their work in progress. How about me setting up a shared Dropbox/Copy.com folder, so we don't need to e-mail or PM stuff around?

I'll make this comment as a moderator:

He didn't attach his story; rather, he put a link in to his site that deals in poetry and asked everyone to take a look. That was not in keeping with the spirit of post #1. His link and comment was seen as a promotional post.

Further thoughts: I don't think we can allow short stories to be uploaded here, as that would cause 'reams of clutter' to fill Mobileread, and then (of course), there would undoubtedly be the attempt by someone to make a promotional post in a thread that has nothing to do with promotion. (And, of course, our guidelines for self-promotion prohibit any promotion outside of the Self-Promotion forum....)

Your suggestion about a Dropbox/Copy.com folder seems viable.

Your project sounds like a worthwhile project.
