NEMONYMOUS TEN SUBMISSION GUIDELINES WILL BE PROVIDED LATER IN 2009 ... and relevant to this is the Cern Zoo GUESS THE AUTHOR competition. It is likely that you will be asked to confirm that you entered that free competition at least once when anonymously or non-anonymously submitting a story for Nemo Ten this coming November 2009. | ||

With all due respect, Des, isn't it difficult enough coming up with enough good stories to fill an anthology without placing restrictions on your contributors in this way? | ||
| Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 06-2008 Posted From: 81.155.19.139 |
Oh, not restricting contrbutors. I shall read all stories submitted. It's just that I'll want confirmation they entered the comptition which determines the name of one of their story characters and the name of the book itself. | ||

And the ones who don't enter the competition are ... restricted? | ||
| Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 06-2008 Posted From: 81.155.19.139 |
No. | ||

Des - they're shot, aren't they? Or perhaps you they're subjected to Chinese water torture? It's one of the two. I'm right, aren't I?  | ||

This is what appears on the Nemonymous website: NEMONYMOUS TEN SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ARE PLANNED TO BE SHOWN HERE DURING NOVEMBER 2009 ... and relevant to this is the Cern Zoo Guess The Author competition prior to 31 October 2009. You will be asked to state whether you entered that free competition when submitting a story for Nemonymous Ten, as it will determine the name of one of your characters and even the title of the book itself, but all submitted stories will be read and judged properly whether you entered the competion or not. | ||

Des - sorry, mate. Just trying to inject some juvenile humour into the proceedings. | ||
| Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 06-2008 Posted From: 81.155.19.139 |
It was good, Frank. You are quite near the truth. | ||

Gotcha. Thanks, Des. My apologies. I misunderstood. | ||
| Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 06-2008 Posted From: 81.155.19.139 |
Thanks, Chrs. As a result of your post, I did clarify the wording. So I owe you the thanks. | ||

But how will you know if they're annonymous anyway?! | ||

Each manuscript gives off it's own individualistic smell: Zed = anger, Prof = irony Me = elegance, etc. | ||

But how will you know if they're annonymous anyway?! ================== I won't. Everything is on trust.  | ||

My manuscripts give off only a gentle whiff of despair... | ||
| Frank (Frank) Username: Frank Registered: 09-2008 Posted From: 213.158.199.69 |
Zed - ah, but your writing, your work, wouldn't be the work of Gary McMahon if you didn't exude a certain desperation. It'd be the work of some lightweight McMahon, not the angry young Osborne of horror writing. | ||

That was meant to be a compliment. | ||

Ah, finally twigged to what you three stooges of uproarious comedy were talking about. |
