Well, it could be a variety of things. I'm assuming this is a scrapbook, so totally written submissions may be out of the picture, but a few people put those out, and they're pretty good...But I'm not sure on that part. There's an inspiration thread as well, if you need ideas on stuff. Not sure what's in there, but the name is promising.

Try looking at the lost zombies timeline. We'd like you guys to at least think a little abotu the timeline. But really your submission can range form a single sentence scribed on a post it not to a 5,000 word letter.

You can also do multiple submission.

hello! if one were to do a written submission, is there a limit to length?
ive had a billion ideas all day today so if some one needs one just ask.

There's not limit. If we like you piece we may use a portion of it or all of it. if we get a ton of great submission we may even do more then one book. Nothing is set in stone at this point.

'Scuse me guys, but is my submission's scan(found on the first page of the submission thread) of a high enough quality, or should I mail it in?

Quality on the scan looks good.

Hi,

I just asked this question in the workshop section. Maybe it is better to ask it here.

"I just saw this site and signed up today. The first ideas that came to mind was to tell a story about the origin of the virus. But that would mean starting in the past and then do a connection to 2007 later on. Would that stand a chance to be published in the book (at best ;-)) or be part of the project?"

thanx,

plan9

Currently we are avoiding revealing how the virus originated. You can write something that speculates how it began. But we are not giving a definitive origin... Yet.

I hope that helps :)

Oops, I have not seen this reply yet.
Well, it helps answering the question but not much my story which has a worked out explanation of the virus' origin now ;-(
All right, then I have to put in some contradictions leaving the reader in tentativeness.
