Great news. Well done to everyone involved! It seems kind of strange seeing you name the authors immediately, Des. | ||

Splendid. | ||

Very sad not to make the final cut, but definitely looking forward to reading the final book! Congratulations to all who made it. | ||

I'm a dudey! Deep sympathy to those who didn't get in; I was desperate to and had my first go rejected. Thought that was it. But as Des says, it's how a piece fits into the whole, not a sign of lack of quality. I can easily see how my first go wasn't right and did have a feeling about this one being more so. I'm so glad to be in this last one - it's a real honour. | ||

This is mad - I feel like I've slipped in by accident, that any minute now Des will be in touch to tell me there'd been a mix up. Why can't I ever just feel good!?!  | ||
| Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 06-2008 Posted From: 86.171.167.123 |
You should feel good, Tony! It's a great story and the 3rd longest in the whole book.  | ||

It's liberating to be able to discuss the tales without concern for the anonymity this time. Having said that, I think the whole 'Nemonymous' concept is superb. | ||
| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.31.165.34 |
The wholw Nem process has corroded my brain and I no longer know which tale I wrote. I can't even remember my name. Who am I? | ||

Wow, you've got a Reggie Oliver too! Can't wait for this. | ||

Yeah, just the one Reggie. Not all of them. | ||

Well now, I've put a price up for this amazing big and well-peopled anthology. Hopefully out July. | ||
| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 129.11.77.198 |
You've put the price up? Or put up the price? | ||
| Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 06-2008 Posted From: 86.157.25.52 |
I've put the price up on the internet, i.e. not put up the price because, until I put it up, there wasn't one. | ||
| Weber (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.55 |
So if there was no price but now there is taht means you've put the price up? | ||
| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 129.11.77.198 |
But has the price been put up relative to previous Nems? Inflation hitting Dessie? | ||
| Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 06-2008 Posted From: 86.157.25.52 |
The price of Nemo is geared exactly to an assessment of value. Weber has an interesting philosophical point. Does the first price of an object entail the putting up from zero where the object didn't exist at all till the price was put up? | ||
| Joel (Joel) Username: Joel Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 91.110.139.167 |
No: the object is a commodity, therefore its value is ontologically prior to its price. Money is a surrogate for value. So the first price is that of a real object, not a non-object. Money has no reality of its own. | ||

Except if you're paying for a service? Or a promised service (a pre-order for a book that doesn't yet exist)? | ||
