This anthology started as a twitter joke, and was picked up by a small press and became (sort of) serious. Jaym Gates and Erika Holt did a ridiculous amount of work putting it together – thanks! All the marketing has been online, through twitter, blogs, facebook.

And it worked, far better than anyone expected.

Edit: Sometime over night – #30 and #795.

Right now it’s at 34 and 806. Congrats to everyone involved!!!
