This was going to go up tomorrow morning, but [info]eleveninches used the, but "it's tomorrow on the east coast!" line on me and I caved because I already wanted to.

A couple months back, I e-mailed a bunch of authors to see if they wanted to send me something for a little online zine I wanted to put together, anything having to do with summer (even in small, small ways). I told them I wanted something from 500 to 2,000 words and that my only "guideline" for the stories was that they have fun writing them. Twenty-three people submitted stories in multiple fandoms.

[info]slodwick nobly took over the site design, and made it happy and summery, [info]fan_this made the little tiny graphics you see on the page, [info]linzeestyle made the gorgeous main graphic (Slod added the text! I know you offered but--she was there! And you were right about the text. *g*), and [info]like_cheap_wine made covers for several people (sorry I didn't think to ask artists before so everyone could have one but--I learned for next year!)

Thanks to everyone who participated in this--I think it looks beautiful, and the stories are really wonderful.

Happy reading! Please be sure to give feedback to the authors if you enjoyed something!

Congratulations to [info]z_rayne who just won the drawing for the hardcopy zine of this, made by [info]stormheller! I did a random drawing from all the authors who participated. (Do you still have the same address, sug?) One lucky con attendee will be getting the second hardcopy, but I have a Super Sekrit way of deciding who that will be. I'll edit this post to reflect when I have a winner. :D

Authors--feel free to repost your own stories on your LJ or website or wherever anytime after next week Monday.

Prison Break and SGA clips coming up next in the con! And if you still want to play in the Blame Someone Else Day, get yourself over to the poll! I'll edit it to reflect when I'm no longer taking entrants.

Oh, what fun! I'm totally going to reward myself with this. Should motivate me to study FAST. *g*

Oh my god.

I'm sorry, I haven't even read the stories yet and my panties have pre-emptively exploded.

This is an utter embarressment of riches! Thanks for setting this up!

This looks really, really great -- just one question -- is there any chance of getting a .pdf file of the whole thing? Would make it much easier to download and read later :D

Congrats to everyone who's worked on it - it looks stunning. The artwork is gorgeous, I adore the mini-graphics like whoa, and though I've only had time to read a couple of stories so far, they've been fantastic too.

Thanks Mads!
