Hi All,
I tossed the question whether we should try and have one this year out on the Discord forums and got a few bites. So now that AW is back, we can start looking at it in earnest but I reckon we ought to work out a few things before we throw the doors of sign-up open wide...
First thing, who's wanting to run it? I haven't seen Kevin in a while yet, so I don't know whether they're up for it this year. We've had a few people bravely step up in the past and they did marvelously but life has a habit of getting in the way and the Mad Scientists Association says NO on cloning Cobra. (Stupid Mad Scientists Assiociation...) It's not a glamourous job and probably akin to herding cats and probably the only bit of fun will be DING-ing is the Guessing thread. (I'm not selling this well, am I?)
Anyway, if no one is keen to have a shot at it, I'm willing to try but I don't want to steal anyone's thunder if anyone wants to have a go. I've just enjoyed past Sequel Sisyphusses too much to see it die prematurely.
Second thing, we ought to work out perhaps a better system for people to read each other works? The writing is all very fine, but most of us will want to be have it read too. Or am I on the wrong track?
So do people want a different system than the standard 'PM someone if you want to read their work and whether they hand it over is up to them' or does it work best for you? Are there better options? Because I reckon we need to be sure about this because it will determine for some whether they'll sign-up.
Anything else I am forgetting so far?

) one, unless your story is requested by somebody, it may never find any eyes. Which kinda sucks. Don't know what the solution is, but will have a think about it.
