I suggest adding a timeline for all the main members that someone was going to do but never finished entirely. But I'd pay for a book. Sounds like fun. I would appropriately make a full and complete family tree. Yes.

What I'm sensing is a uniform swing towards the Yearbook idea. If we can lock that in, then we can start serious planning for the book.

I'm not really sure why a "yearbook" and an anthology have to be mutually exclusive. I mean, couldn't you just do a "yearbook" and then give each author (who wants one) a submitted piece of writing? Also, I'd definitely buy one. Quick question though... who's doing the cover art?

Yeah, the yearbook would have some writing. The book is going to have writing in it. It's whether we do a bunch of other fun stuff as well. We're going to be sending out some extra PMs to certain people.

I'd rather have one completely awesome AWR item than a few that aren't quite as awesome.

You said you're seeing a swing toward the yearbook idea as though there are two very separate things being discussed; but it seems like all we're deciding between is "Anthology" or "Anthology+" and really, who doesn't want "+"? Also, can my one sentence be "The most effective ego-check on the internet?" Or is that too backhanded?

And then Kaez pretty much said, "no, tell them they can be witty or amusing too... for Zovo." ... so yeah, you're good.

I love the idea of a yearbook+ thingy. Also the family tree (don't think I don't see what you did there, Kaez, you leafy devil.)
And yeah, I'd be willing to pitch in a couple of bucks for my copy.

Do you not remember how insufferable I was when I first got here?

You have time to get your sentences in. Don't rush or panic.
Possibly even longer since we might incorporate them into a book, instead of doing the other thing we were going to do.

You can count on me to buy one and a little more financial support if needed.

I'll buy one. And might be able to help buy one for someone that wants one but can't.

I'll buy one. I'd prefer an anthology+ or whatever, or at the very least an anthology. A way to display writing or multiple pieces of writing or whatever just seems better to me than a silly yearbook that no one but I would get if anyone else were to read it.
