What part of “We will be accepting submissions from December 20th, 2004, to March 21st, 2005” don’t you . . .

Ah, forget it.

Dear Messirs Mole and Gropp,

This is Christopher writing. You probably know me better from my online handle ThundarrFan (which I first used MUDDing in 1989, long predating these late pretenders!!!)

My friend pointed out your book guidelines and I sent you my article about Thundarr and Ookla the Mok's exciting encounter with the Predator. It has now been almost two days since I e-mailed you the article and I am wondering if you perhaps had trouble with my PGP key???

Please let me know when the book goes live, and if the pdf is available it can be sent to same e-mail as the PayPal.

Weilding my fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil,

Christopher "ThundarrFan" Rowe

The most generous interpretation of people who do stuff like that is that they think the US mail is much, much, much slower than it actually is.

Well, you said you'd be accepting stories between those dates, so they figured they'd give you a few days to read the story before accepting it. :)

As for the postmark date, that part presumably didn't make it into the copy of the guidelines that they found in "K001 riterz guidelines online!"

--jed, sad that ThundarrFan never sent SH his article. (Oh, wait, now I'm guessing by "Ookla the Mok" you meant the Thundarr character rather than the band. Never mind.)
