Any update on how the book is going?
- Dancer0
There are othr threads about this, with responses and everything

In production. All the submissions need to be compiled, collated, placed into a single document, and a running order needs to be established for the Publisher to review in the fullness of time. Also there are naturally inconsistencies in annotation, spelling to correct etc so its at that long winded and not particularly update worthy stage.
More information to follow...

they've abandoned the book format and instead have decided upon a limited edition of a pokemon-style series of trading cards.
i have to collect them all.

I know there are other threads... I wanted to start one as a tracking to the progress.

we just ripped all of your work.
- digdre0
we just collected all of yer work for our own pdf books that no one but the crew will ever get to see
- digdre0
we also made 5 stacks of unique toilet paper out of each submission so you have something to look at during your visit at the toilet, and if you are done, you can even use it.
Useable design is what I call it.

We'll contact you fine folk when we have some news. It's a very long process still... Between dealing with the publishers, printer, beginning to artwork files, trying not to get fired from our day jobs and somewhere in between making sure our wives/girlfriends don't leave us..
We thank you for your patience.

thanks guys, we may take you up on that... we're currently sorting logistics and examining the files along with tweaking the templates, so once those things are sorted [hopefully by the end of next week] we'll be going full-bore into artworking mode...

where is this happening?monospaced - in my pants is happening somethingdigdre
- DGV is publishing it I think, so it will most likely print in Germany... esp. since moamoa will then be able to do the press check.Scotch_Roman

- I WILL FUCKING TURN THIS CAR AROUND7point34

I once got put out of the car on the middle of nowhere (somewhere in the mountains between ulapool and inverness) on the way back from visiting my granny because i was being such a little cunt... parents only went around the corner before coming back.. they just wanted to teach me a lesson.
Too late, some elderly couple had only gone and found me in a layby and were fairly insistant on calling the police...

my mother let me out of the car once at least a mile or 2 from home.
i figured she'd be coming back around the block as well. so i sat there for a bit. then started walking. then kept walking.
when i got to my house the car was parked and she was inside getting dinner ready. she didn't seem like she had been terribly concerned.

so for those of us on the "backup"... is there a list of people who actually made it in?
