I would be interested to know how many pieces were submitted in comparison to how many pieces are going to be in the journal.

Here is the flyer peoples. It looks massive, but i set the size to a sheet of 8.5x11 paper. So it has a good quality when printed. Now, some of the brushes I used were made by someone named sha. They were on PSBrushes.net. So i dont take credit for all the sparkly letters around the words. I didn't make the brush. The pencils and swords are from the YWS main logo and then Barty is obviously from the bottom of the screen in all his wisdom. It's in color, so print in color if you want or black and white.

Just print some and put them up anywhere you can, increase those journal sales!

Those are so being randomly scattered around the halls of my high school. Dank Adam!

Oof, I'm in. Just checked my E-mail.

The poem "Treacle" won me my place.

Yay ging. =D I really can't wait for this to come out.... Nate, you do way too much. If I ever find myself in DC (or at least, in DC with the ability to find you...) I'm hugging you and thanking you many times. Many many. More than necessary, haha. As others have said, this really does open a new door for a lot of young writers. The first publication is always the hardest, and perhaps the most needed one. Once you have that "on your record" so to speak, you can get a lot of other things in print, which is grand.

Adam ->> As I already told you, that flyer is awesome. I'm going to be posting it in my local library, my local supermarket, and my law school.

Razo ->> I asked Adam to change it to February as a 'just in case' measure. The mid-January date is what I am aiming for, but there are lots of things that outside of my control on this one. But, it will be out in February even under the worst case scenario.

Suzanne ->> Thanks! But hold off for now; while I will do everything I can to make sure the YW:LJ is a success, it remains a 50/50 thing.

Matt ->> For many reasons, I will not be providing such statistics. But wait until you see the quality of the work inside the Journal; it really is extraordinary. It's not on par with the New Yorker of course, but then again, I can never finish the stories I find in the New Yorker.

I honestly think everyone is going to be surprised and pleased with the quality of the work in the Journal.

Quick thing I just noticed! It should be "February" not "Febuary."

Dad blast it! So help me.....spell checker my rear end.

I'm gonna try and get a flyer into the school papers and on the boards around school. I think if we all pitch in it could really take off.

Okay, question ^^

Hmm, so the people who got in get a copy sent to them right? Does it matter if I'm in the UK? And also, when do we give out addresses and stuff to be sent to?

Oh the confusion.

Congrats to those who got in. :)
