I've participated in 2 different books created by websites. 1 was litkicks. The way they did it was that they had members nominate posts by other members and post them in a special forum... I think they called it "voting" for the other member's work. But it didn't make any sense to me because they selected a piece of mine which wasn't voted for so it appeared that what they did was publish whatever they chose themselves, rather than using the material "voted" for by the members.

The other website where I had a piece of mine published in an anthology also created a special forum. In that forum, the members posted their own material and the pieces posted there were treated as submissions. The replies to the posts indicated whether the other members thought the piece should be included in the book. It was pretty much a popularity contest, seemed to me.

At any rate, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think either of these methods worked very well, though both were admirable efforts to allow the community to be involved in the process. The reason why they didn't work is because the webmasters who acted as editors ended up selecting the pieces they wanted to publish anyway.

So, I'm thinking the best way to do this is to form a committee... 3 or 4 people who want to be involved in the selection process, then have those who want their material in the book submit to the committee... or something... I donno..

OR...if there isn't enough interest in this, I'll just act as editor myself and ask people to submit a certain number pieces to me and I'll pick one or two of those.

I'll start a thread about the book in the new forum called "community projects" and we'll talk about it more there.

Thanks, Dave!
