Alright, so far evertything is going along very smoothly. I'm pretty excited about seeing the end product! Feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning! Place your votes for a title. Whatever is picked should be something memorable and attractive. Me, I'm open to whatever the final winner is-although let's refrain from "Zombie-spider-transvestite-worm-eaters-from-Mergatroid" for this one  . We'll leave it open for about a week. That enough time? Cast your votes, and may the best title win! |

Another idea:
Virtual Imaginings: Selections from the Cornucopia of KB Writers
(Virtual substituted for Patchwork, as the cover ilio is not done in a patchwork theme this time. We could do it next time, though.)

I liked this one, too. I don't like the "Patchwork" thing at all. To me, it implies that it is just something thrown together. |

See, and to me, "Patchwork" implies lovingly handcrafted, using fabrics with special meanings, and meant to be kept for ever and passed down through the generations. That said. . .I like Virtual Imaginings. . .since it's basically an e-book effort. . . . . . .I wouldn't abbreviate KindleBoard to KB though. . . .no one but us will know what that means -- I assume the idea is to attract more than just us to buy it. |

Should we amend the poll to include 'Virtual Imaginings' as a choice? Are people who like it just voting 'other'?

I like Virtual Imaginings...but the rest will kind of overwhelm the cover, especially for the print version... |

VIRTUAL IMAGININGS seems to have the lead at the moment.
BTW, fellow anthology authors, is it alright if non-contributors vote on this as well? Personally, I don't have a problem with it, since they will want to see an attractive title for the book.

I think it's okay for them to vote ..... hopefully they buy a copy - It's for a good cause! How many short stories did we end up with? |

Yeah. . . .there isn't any way to stop anyone from voting in what is, essentially, a public poll. So: in case you're not an author/contributor and are not sure you should vote. . . .well, I think you should! |

So, at what point do we declare this closed?
Also, I believe (whatever is chosen) we should add 'Vol. I'.
I'm already working on a submission for the next one, and I'll bet several others are, too.

I'm going to close it next Monday, archer, just to give any weekend posters a chance. And I do like the Volume I part. I dont' have a problem with it. |

Well, being a pragmatic type person, I wouldn't use Volume 1 unless I was dead sure there was going to be a Volume 2. Otherwise you may just make readers annoyed -- and/or confuse them because they go looking for a Volume 2 that doesn't (yet) exist.
Assuming a Volume 2 does get put together, it's o.k. for the first one to be called XXX and the second XXX: vol 2.

You're right. As an author who neither has submissions lying around nor the time to put together anything worth publishing in a week, I would appreciate the opportunity to participate later. I hope there's a volume 2.  (I had a humor piece I could have submitted, but as it has so little to do with the stuff I usually put out, I refrained. Probably for the best...fifteen submissions is more than enough.) |

There'll be a second book if I have anything to say about it. I'm looking for an excuse to update Inkblot's software... But I agree...Vol 1 probably should not be on the first book; it also limits title changes for future anthologies. For example, the cat bloggers did an anthology titled "We Are The Kitties: Read This Or I'll Bite You." The second was "We Are The Kitties... ...And We Writed You This Book." Slightly more interesting that WATK Vol 1 and Vol 2--and suggests to the readers that they don't have to read them in any particular order. |
