Soup going up momentarily: note to authors.

While I deeply appreciate a specific author's contribution to the Soup, two days have gone past without a response that would enable me to post the entire anthology. Under the circumstances, I am reluctantly (and, I hope, temporarily) removing that specific story from the Soup. Happily, we had a backup. When that author does come back online, I will be pleased to reinsert the story into place. But for now, it is unfair to the rest of you who have been patiently waiting!

So the Soup will go up in a few minutes. Once it's up, expect a few minutes more before I can get all the links back-and-forth filled out completely.

Soup authors, if you submitted multiple links, I used the first on the list. If you prefer something else, let me know so I can change that for you.

Also, please skim through your stories in the anthology and check for any mistakes I might have made, including omission of author's notes, missing italics, the wrong nick, or any other problems you might discover. Occasionally, when I am coding, I will spot the odd typo and fix it. If you find any mistakes that you want to correct, I will happily do that for you, too.

THANK YOU to everyone who participated! I am still amazed - and moved - that every single person who signed up submitted their story more or less on time, and that the only person who did drop out notified me well in advance, as is requested. Anyone who has ever run a ficathon or fest will tell you that is practically a statistical impossibility. You guys are absolutely awesome. :D


Edit: all links should now be working properly. And one more thing to look out for: if you're a new Soup author and I failed to note that, please do tell me so I can add you to the list!
