Almost thirteen months since I posted the first post in the thread (30 april 2007), and now we're only tree days away. It's an understatement to say I'm thrilled

We have you to thank for this other literary centennary tribute to Fleming - so thanks!

Yes, definitely. Thanks a lot for this splendid idea!

Thank you indeed, Mr Twilight! Which makes me think: I hope you'll be credited in some way in the collection for initiating this project?

It's May 28th, where is it? Will there be a splash on the CB.net main page? I want my Bond!

Ah, yes! I'm so caught up in DMC mania I forgot! Where is our other, long-awaited centennary tribute book? Look forward to reading what y'all have come up with.

As a few people have dropped out of helping on this the typesetting of the book has fallen upon me and because I just received all of the stories yesterday things aren

Thanks for taking on this huge task. By all means, take your time if it means putting that much more love into it while preserving your sanity! All the best and thanks.

[clinkeroo]

We have all the time in the world...

[Mister Asterix]

Coming Monday.

[Hitch]

Oooh. Me want. I've got my sleeping bag propped up against the shop door.

[MicroGlobeOne]

That cover art is absolutely beautiful. It's a fine tribute to both Fleming and Chopping. I'll be waiting with bated breath until Monday. Thank you, Mister Asterix.

[MattofSteel]

That is PHENOMENAL. Cannot wait to read it.

[MkB]

Oh My! Oh Myyyyy, Mr *! What a treat!

[Blofeld's Cat]

Lovely cover. Chopping would be proud.

[Scrambled Eggs]

Superb cover.

Now, there are two names missing from the list on that cover.

Are there any concrete plans for the stories by Mr Stewart and Mr Boldfort?

[Single-O-Seven]

Fantastic! Looks great. Fabulous work. Looking forward to Monday (for once).

[Qwerty]

Simply stunning.

[clinkeroo]

Damn you, Evan. One can never write stories that would ever do justice to your covers. Kudos, my friend.

Well, do concentrate on those that are there, but in answer to the question, one was a bit long and needs a little more work and one was a bit crap and needs much more. Be confident that both will appear in due course but please don't let their absence detract from what is an exceptional collection of stories. There's stuff in here that surpasses. The writers have done a fabulous job and are entitled to pride.

[Trident]

Absolutely fantastic, truly marvellous, great and elegant cover! Damn fine work!

God, how I hope to live up to those standards. I'm joining the queue with sleeping bag and thermos flask (1 quarter coffe/3 quarters Bourbon).

[Scrambled Eggs]

Be confident that both will appear in due course but please don't let their absence detract from what is an exceptional collection of stories.

I'd no intention of doing that! Just curious s'all.

Looking forward.

Don't get touchy, Jim! It looks like we've at least one fan, that's something...
About the question: I don't know about Jim's story, but about mine, Jim and I agreed that it was maybe a bit too long for the short-story format (more of a novella in fact), and as the schedule was rather tight, it was better to consider it separately, to avoid delays. Besides, it will give me some more time to come up with a better title, maybe (this one is not the strong sleeve of the story). You should hear about it soon! Thanks for your interest.

I'm sure we of course all very much want to have your two contributions as soon as possible. There's no escape, don't even try.

[Mr Twilight]

I'll join you all in the row of sleeping bags. Exciting as h**l
Btw, Great artwork

[Single-O-Seven]

Anybody wanna bet this will be better than DMC?

[Mr Twilight]

Something came in mind last night; We should have asked the talented Rich Douglas take make a title song for Forever Yours, with regrets.
