Then who is this? A figment of my imagination?

And anyway, I hold the opinion that rats can write really good SR
material, if they would just set their minds to it...

Hey, this rat is going to be published in Shadowland magazine, so you might
be right...

I've got some stuff on those nasty hormones, but I'll wait until I know more
people are back on the list, so I can get some feedback.

Are you sure there's hardly anybody left on the list? If that's the case,
maybe we should point this out on ShadowRN, so anybody who's not aware of
being unsubscribed can get back on.

You sent something in to Shadowland Gurth? Don't worry about the lack of a
reply. You probably won't get word on acceptance until they are almost ready
to publish that issue. That means the stuff you sent last month probably
won't be heard from for another few months, when Issue #4 is about due.
That's asuming they don't need any changes or anything...

So what did you send?

Yeah, tell RN about it. Some people probably just think the list went quiet
again.

Then I guess it's a party of three here at the moment :)

(I haven't checked the list of subscribers, though.)

Some contacts (all former shadowrunners -- I wonder if they'll accept the

Make it four. But I didn't see the need to do anything but lurk before. I
was somehow dumped off the list a few weeks back. Wonder if everyone else
was too.

Well i thought it had got a bit quiet, but am now back. What has been
going on as i saw some posts on a thread about copyright but without
the start of the thread they make no sense.
As Gurth posted it looks like everyone got dumped, probably more than
once.

How is NEPRS shadowlore 2 doing?
what projects are actually progressing at the moment? (not just in
the FAQ)

Ditto that. I didn't even realize that I had gotten dumped until Gurth said
something (thanks BTW). I'm not to interested in the copywrite debate, but
I would like to see the original source material that it refers to. Any
chance the owner could repost it in a few days (to give other people a
chance to come back on-line)?

Five?
And not to repeat the error I did in the ShadowRN list, what am I supposed
as a new subscriber ABSOLUTELY no to do? :)
Any info about what to do would be welcome too :)

Actually, #3 was supposed to be out right about now. If you've got something
in it, then you should have been notified (with the legal stuff) a few weeks
ago. I was. Further, you can check the home page for Sword of the Knight to
see the "Table of Contents." And even further, if you did have an article
accepted, then you should recieve a copy of the mag for yourself (I'm still
waiting).

Kevin Knight's operation is rather small, so patience is an operative word
when dealing with Sword of the Knight.

Another thing to remember is that, unless I'm mistaken, everything published
by Shadowland has to be approved by FASA. At least, that was what I recall
being told by a nameless someone.

Anyway, it looks like people are filtering back on. I'll post my hormone
material in a day or two.

Make that about a month ago, according to the release schedule in the
front of the other issues. But, as you say, it's a small business so I
don't expect them to bring out everything exactly on the projected date.
Hell, FASA doesn't either :)

None of the above (yet). If it gets accepted, I think it'll be at least #4
before it goes in. If it makes it through FASA, unlike my previous
attempt.

I asked J.D. about SL2, specifically whether he needed help finishing it.
He said he'd continue with it as soon as his RL workload dropped a bit, so
I guss we can expect it somewhere in the future.

The only project goign at the moment is Underworld. There have been ideas
flying around for the NEXT book, but don't start that over again until
Underworld is done, OK?

I think I expressed my opinions a little too freely for a new subscriber. I
also lacked netiquette when asking for flames to be sent at my own address.
I also had the bad luck of finding someone that found it all inexcusable.
I am now in search of redemption by climbing longs stairs on my knees while
fustigating myself :) Oh, what the heck! :)
