Default Re: The Shalimar Treaty

The author of the Mageworld books (Does it say something about me that I can remember the series name but not the author name?) did something similair once. A certain publisher that had been labelled a 'vanity press' put out a statement saying that they rejected 80-90% of submitted material.

This author wrote a very general book script (Sometimes just a few sentences), got a bunch of other authers interested and had them all write out each chapter, seperatly and simultaneously. The result was submitted, accepted and *Published*. You could even buy it on Amazon, at the time I heard of this.

I've posted this elsewhere here if you want the full story. Probably in 'Jokes and Riddles', but I'm not sure.

* Edit: The book was submitted under the name of 'Travis Tea' and the 'book' was 'Atlanta Nights'. And here's the Amazon link to buy it:
