1703				Anthology Stories are due today! Get those final touches done on your story and send it to me by midnight, EST tonight so I can get it assigned to a Proof Team member!

1705
1706
1707	There are lots of burning questions...
1708 
1709
1710
1711	Did we break the 20 story barrier?
1712 
1713
1714
1715	Who participated?
1716 
1717
1718
1719	How many stories did they write?
1720 
1721
1722
1723	When will the stories go live?
1724 
1725
1726
1727	Which theme has more stories?
1728 
1729
1730
1731	
1732 
1733
1734
1735	Of course, I'm not going to answer any of them now   You'll have to wait and anticipate!
