Deb, I would love a drabble anthology. Good idea.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Deb I would love one. After what you said could you use the ones from this board - previously published and all that? (I don't think permissions would be a problem; I can't imagine many of us refusing giving permissions.)

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I'd have to check on that - about the previous pub thing - but I'm hoping a multi-author anthology will have slightly different status than a single full-form manuscript.
This may not even be something that gets off the ground, guys. But if it does, I'm on it.

Deb, I doubt any of my drabbles are worthy of publication, but I think the drabble anthology is a fabulous idea.

Deb, it sounds like an awesome idea. I'd love to contribute if possible. I figure it's a good way to get my name in publication in case I ever want to do more than just drabble. If not, hey, at least I can say I've been published! Plus, I think of all the great company I'd be in and it makes me very, very happy to think of being a part of it all.

Deb, if BenBella is looking for people to contribute to said VM anthology, I can probably point a couple of people (sensible good writers people) your way. But I expect they're just looking for professionals, which most of my friends ain't. Yet.

'suela, I honestly don't know. They asked my agent, not me, but I'll find out. There was also a mention of another show - I think it was Grey's Anatomy. Does that sound right? I've been away from TV awhile.

That's amazing. You've written so much--all of it quality stuff--in just one year? Wow.
