Antholozine Team
I'll keep the running list of volunteers here for easy access and updating.
Content Editors
These would be the people who manage one section of the anthologies. They'd be in charge of going through the submissions for their section, proofing them, and submitting them for layout. If you're feeling particularly bad-assed, grab more than one section!
Essays - Clare K.R. Miller
Creative Nonfiction -
Poetry - Lyn Thorne-Alder
Short Fiction - Lyn Thorne-Alder
Novels - Najela
Serials -
Interviews - Karen Wehrstein
Guest Content Editor -
Guest content would include things like con reports, meetups, and... stuff. It's mostly up to this section's editor. This person should probably be comfortable regularly coming up with ideas for this section's content and soliciting submissions.
Layout - irkdesu, tenaciousN
If you have experience with Adobe InDesign and want to help with layout, let us know!
Proofreaders - Clare K.R. Miller, A.M. Harte, AprilRaines, jolantru
Advertisement - tenaciousN
We're not planning on having ad space this round, but it's not too early to start thinking about Spring '10. Some knowledge of page layout would be lovely, since it would involve playing Tetris with different ad spaces to make something attractively coherent.
Chief Editor - Char
Overall project management, filling in for open spots when necessary.
Accounting - At some point, I'd also like someone to handle funding. This is probably going to not be specific to the anthology, but it would be nice to have someone who can manage the ad income from the anthology advertising, as well as any other donations or stuff we get. Part of the reason we decided to leave ads out this time around is because of the income management question. Ideas on this would be appreciated!

YAY! Thank you. <3
I'm tempted to take on content editing for serials... Feel free to talk me out of it.
Ha ha yeah right, like I'd do that.
As far as novels are concerned, these would have to be excerpts right?
Yeah, we're aiming for 2000 word excerpts.
If no one has novels, I'll take that. So how is this going to work.
YAY! Pretty much, you go through the submission threads, find all the ones tagged as "novels", and pick out the top 3 (if there are more than 3 submissions), proofread 'em, and send the proofed copies on to Irk to be slapped into the layout.
Cool. I also posted a little blurb on the submission guidelines on the WFG in case people wanted to join. I know it's kind of late, but yeah... maybe some people will be able to get in on time.
So, zoetewey, gonna grab the novels? 
I'm assuming you mean serials... Sure.
Though to be honest, aren't most of the submissions serials? I wonder if maybe next time around, it might be better to do it by genre rather than length?
Related to me grabbing the serials? Is the deadline for the content editing still today? You pushed back the submission deadline, so I'm wondering if the content editing deadline is pushed back too.
Either way I'll work it out.
Yeah, it's been pushed back, too. I'm considering asking for help with the whole project, too... I'm a bit overwhelmed with everything that's going on. ^^;;
::takes a deep breath:: I'll take content editor for essays. I think I can do that. I want to do more than just proofread!
Stories last longer: but only by becoming only stories.
