I really hope I make it, I already sold a few books to friends and fans...

I wasn't aware that there was a selection process, but if there is more work submitted than actual pages on the book, there is no way around it, but in the end (hopefully) it should result in higher quality of work don't you think?
Maybe if the book does well and there is an opportunity for a second issue of the book, those who submitted work for this book and didn't make it, could have some prioritah ...
I'm just thinking out loud here...

why the long face?
you are being judged by respectable designers (the abt team) and one of the best graphic book publisher in the world, if your work just don't cut it into this book, you know you are not good enough and that's it. life goes on...
no?- is that supposed to cheer us up?Rand
- hahaha!OSFA

I want to fit in. But every time I start too, I feel weird and alien and self-conscious, which causes me to fuck it up somehow. Then not fitting in feels great for a couple of days, then I start to want to fit in again. Too much? See, I just did it again.
- I'd tell you I accept you, but you would tell me to fuck offRand
- True.MrOneHundred

a part of me wants to not get accepted in the book. so i can be sure of the failure that i am beyond any doubt. the other part wants to slam H.

- hektor9110

what a lovely lovely bunch of folks for doing this

We are doing everything we can to make sure the book and the work inside is the highest quality, reflective of QBN and MOST IMPORTANTLY — becomes something of desire so that people buy the bloody book and we make as much money for the Patrick O'Brien foundation... It's just that simple...
We kept things open for all to submit for as reason and we honestly never foresaw the need for editing, but things change and new situations arise, we're just trying to do our best to make all parties involved happy and to ensure that the book gets printed...
- all right — calm down dear. ;)mistermik
- thats me fucked.mistermik
- I didn't mean for that to be bitchy, just trying to remind everyone of what the actual goal of this project is...neue75_bold
- no need to explain — people should just let you lovely people get on with it.mistermik

just an idea, but maybe you could et 1 or 2 double spread pages with a short selection of best work from rejected submission?
that way ther could be some more qbners selected and you could keep the quality of works you think the book needs.*that said, my pants are wet... hope not be rejected, even if my mom is already sooo proud of her son*
- I meant just the best work of some rejected people. Everyone once did a great job :)dyspl

lol @ people telling their mums about this. brilliant.
- shitehawke0
I actually started that whole tell my mum post as a joke. She subsequently googled me and is now disappointed that I didn't tell her in the first place.
I just can't win.
