Deb, I would love a drabble anthology. Good idea.

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.
