We're still in the process of reviewing all the submissions we received with the publisher. We will soon have a final call on "who's in" and "who's out" of the book.
We promise you, that we are working on this as efficiently and diligently as possible given the situation of all parties involved. We want the book to be great, and it obviously takes a bit of work to solidify all the things it takes to accomplish that.As I said, we will very soon (within the next week) have a final participants-list agreed upon between us and the publisher, and we will promptly let everyone know where they stand.
We greatly appreciate the support and participation of everyone who's given time to this project, and I guarantee you, we'll give you updates as soon as they are available.

I find these notes irritatingly stifling, I'm constantly forced to edit and trim my thoughts into 4 little lines, I'm thinking I may have to revolt against them – I SHALL NOT BE CONFINED TO FOUR LINES! I DEMAND MY FREEDOM, YOU CAN'T CONTAIN MEEEEEE!!!
- Not that I have any thoughts that warrant more than four linesmax_prophet
- DAMMIT I"M POSTING NOTES IN MY OWN ANTI-NOTE POST AAARGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHmax_prophet

So, just out of curiosity, has the publisher assigned an editor for the book, and if so, is that editor having some say in whose work is in and whose is out?
- Yes and yes.NotByHand
- that could get very interesting.juhls
- ...or depressing.MrOneHundred
- Im with you, erring on the depressing side. *thinks of ways to break news to mum...shitehawke
- that's basically what I meant. get hip with the language, yo!juhls

Interesting. I'm actually glad DGV will be able to weigh in on what actually gets printed. It will raise the overall level of quality, rather than simply being a collection of work produced by interweb pals.
- is that just a nice way of telling us we are all shit?FallowDeer

I hope there isn't any censoring happening due to non "politically correct" or nsfw content. Oh, and if the publisher did assign an editor, is that person completely objective or are they involved on a deeper level. I actually thought that QBNers were acting as publishers.

can i save what's left of my dignity and withdraw from the book before i am left out?
- emukid0
also, what is the shipping cost going to be? that's the most important thing really.

do you guys think you will offer overnight shipping or just the regular ground shipping option?
- loljuhls
- Would you like it gift wrapped?locustsloth
- It will probably cost a lot to ship to Canada.juhls
- so take that!juhls
- emukid0
okay, i have acquired a lot of H and am ready for the bad news. break it to me gently.
- emukid0
if you offer overnight shipping, will it be ups or fedex? i prefer DHL so i am not sure if i'll want to buy a copy if the book is shipped via some other courier.

I'm banking my entire relationship with my parents on this book.
- why?morilla
- j/k :)
They are not that impressed yet. Once I get the book in their hands...juhls - I'm proud of you, princessRand
- Unless it is full of nude images. Then I will quickly flip to the page and then take the book back and run away.juhls
- thanks, Rand.juhls

I'm glad the book is being edited unless I'm edited out

it will be funny if the book ends up being a bunch of people who don't even post on qbn
- wait i thought the pre-req for this was you needed a minimum of 1K posts to be in the book.e-pill
- that won't happen since all the contributors are regulars on QBN.monospaced
- like nopattern?Rand
- no it was you had to be a member since nov. '08 I thinkdoesnotexist
- haha, Rand. I think people just wanted to see him in the book. More publicity. And many people like his work.juhls
- and buildRand
- Build is a member. Well, used to be anyway.ian
