Wow.. Is this thread still going? O_o

Is the contest also still running? Amazing! Maybe its a fake contest, and the winner is the one to do the last post in the thread, without any new content in 7 days?

He sat into the night, staring at his beloved piggy-bank, cradling a hammer in his hands, tears streaming down his face. They had been together a long time, shared so many memories of good times and bad. But now it was time to end the relationship. "Breaking up is hard to do." Literally.
That's an unspeakably cruel thing to do to a Yorkshireman in Scotland!

Authors write, right? You're writing - therefore you're an author. Better than that - you're an (e)pub-lished author

Have you noticed the thread count for this here contest? You've set the (re)bar pretty high for all contests to come!
Actually a regular signature is just as good as an electronic one. It is simple to scan a piece of paper and make an image to use for eBooks. You only need a placeholder file in the ePUB that gets replaced by the scanned image.

Just saw your post, Dale. Actually, that is exactly what I am doing right now (literally... signing and scanning in between typing this post). Sign paper > scan and set a transparency layer > import the scanned ink into a flyleaf template > apply a number, so the recipient knows where they were in the sequence > export as an optimized PNG, with transparency. The placeholder in my master ePub is then replaced by the new PNG, and a MOBI conversion is made so the recipient has their choice of formats.

I am preparing the cast list. I will post it, maybe to night, so that it can be corrected and made cute, at least as our AUTHOR.

Again the script, acting and directing are outstanding.

The adieau to the piggy bank under the moonlight is pure Bergman of the Strawberries place.

Alex in the tent is worth of Dostoevsky.

I have learned from him, just few minutes ago that he is very happy of the turning of the events. Unless our thespian genius has some surprise in store.

Oh, I can't wait for the next act. The tension is mounting.
