We're thinking of pushing the due date back a few weeks into September. I understand a lot of you may be returning to school; our intent is not to make things more difficult

hi again - great to hear how things are progressing!
i have a completed fic, but i have a couple of queries/concerns before i submit.
1 - my fic is about 12000 wds, but layout issues make it 30 printed pages, does this make it too long?
2 - it's the first in a planned series - it's a standalone, but still, maybe you want something that has no follow-on?
3 - it is the first work i've ever done in this fandom, and although i feel confident in it, i was wondering if you'd prefer a 'tested brand'. also, if i put it in the zine, that kind of makes it hard for me to gauge public response/feedback about my first attempts in this 'verse. i've been tempted to ask if i can archive it at my site goblok, but you've been specific about preferring no on-line publishing before the zine comes out, so...i'm kind of torn with what to do. but i guess if it came down to it, if you read it and you're happy with it, then i'm happy to put it in
( ... )
2. Here's where you might encounter a problem -- if it is the first in a series, and published in the zine, you can't post it for a year. Then again, I can always make an exception and allow you to post it when you finish the next story in the series.
3. Again, this is up to you. I can allow you to post it a few months after the zine comes out, though I can understand your desire for feedback on your first effort. Would it be possible to share it privately with a few friends or interested parties and go off that feedback?
Sorry it's taken me so long -- I wanted to think things over before responding.
And sweetie, I don't just like that fic, I love it. Really. I'm trying my hand at the same style for my contribution to the zine, and if I'm lucky, I might make it half as good as that story. ;)
thanks for the reply - i'm so glad to hear from you, as i've been hanging out for news!
okay, i'm happy to share the fic privately for a little f'back if you're happy to give me permission to post it in a few months, when i've got the next couple of fics written. that would be great - a perfect compromise, i think. so, if you're ready to go, i'll mail this thing to you,um, tomorrow night...
oh wow! i am full of squee, i had such a fine time writing this piece, and it'll be great to get it out in the open. and i'm chuffed at the compliments - and i'm pretty sure that you'll get something more than half-good out of your efforts...can't wait to read, in fact...
I'm sorry to have left you waiting! If you need to hear something from me asap, please email me directly -- LJ comments get bunched together, and I usually answer them after I go through personal emails. ;)
I'll agree to the compromise. If you mail the piece to me, I can have myself and some others look over it and let you know so you don't have to wait AGAIN for an answer (there's a committee, to make things fair).
