I take it ALL back! (EMG-Zine anthology stuff)

[ellenmillion]

I so owe you guys an apology. I have a tendency to look at EMG-Zine just one month at a time, and then generally just at the features dropdown, which is terribly short-sighted of me.

I've started layout on the anthology, and can I just say: YOU GUYS ROCK.

I was horribly concerned that it was going to be lots of me, and skimpy, and I complained and whined terribly and no one kicked me like I probably deserved. I was SO wrong.

This is a masterful list of content, and it's going to be an absolutely awesome book. You guys supplied amazing stuff - I'm a notorious skinflint, and even I'd buy this thing; it's that useful. I just went back through all the 2006 issues, and this is a great little e-zine (she says humbly). It's just the level of serious versus light that I wanted to hit. It may look a little light in content some months - until you realize that every one of those columns is it's OWN fabulous feature. The galleries got slim some months, and there were a few months without fiction, but I can't complain about that, really - art and fiction were never the spotlight of the thing. :)

Go you!

Yay!!! Any estimate on when the anothology would be available?

Not yet! I would love to get the layout finished next week, and then I will still have to collect high-res files. It could be just a few weeks before pre-order is available, I'm eyeing an early March release, I think.

Ooh what is this anthology of which you speak :)?? It sounds great, is it going to be a compilation of tutorials and articles from the EMG-zine?

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

I never answered this! Yes, it'll be a collection of most of the articles and some of the art and fiction. Some of the tutorials, they didn't save high-res files of the steps, so I can't print them all, but I've got a few! :)
