Slowed down by illness sadly (not me re the illness) - will try to gauge the likely delay and report back...

I have managed to finish the laying out myself and have sent it to three worthy trolls to look over so we may be on track after all!

So I have taken on final laying out duties myself and have been consulting with Dr. Google on a regular basis. Darrght reviewed my first draft and I processed his suggestions yesterday. There were a couple of tables crammed with figures that I just couldn't 'correct' so I deleted them and started from scratch, trying not to botch the numbers - never easy in a household where life runs riot about you! I just remembered to send Ken two pieces connected with him and I'm waiting to hear back if he wants any changes. I have set up publication on DriveThru via Khaghbboommm Press for 31 January and I only(!) have to add the front and back covers to the hard copy on Lulu Publishing. It is 159 pages long and has some 21 pieces. I'm hoping today is a day of rest - ie the rest of life

khaboom, does this mean TrollsZine! will no longer be offered via the Flying Buffalo store on DriveThru?

I hadn't picked up on that - I certainly could be. I will email Rick and ask him if that is what he would like.
I think I have his email somewhere. I'll change the date on Khaghbboommm Press and see if it's better to delete it there.

I've sent an email. If I hear nothing, I shall press ahead and I can always withdraw it and it can change homes if and when. Hope that suits everyone. I didn't win my battle with Lulu set-up today - oh well, it would be boring never to fail a saving roll.

I certainly hear that, Khaboom. Some of the most interesting solutions I've had the opportunity to develop have come out of an initially failed SR. On the flip-side, there are some days where I simply strive for boredom!

I tweeted out a link and plug this afternoon, and the Deluxe T&T twitter feed will send out an annoucement tomorrow.
The DriveThroughRPG twitter account retweeted me! That's a lot of exposure.

CONGRATULATIONS, khaboom! And THANK YOU for picking up this project where I fumbled and running it so masterfully to completion. I can't wait to read it!

If an opportunity comes up for a second edition, I see that my article has some words with _underscores_ which should be italicised. No big problem.

I'll look into that - it definitely uploaded so I'm not sure if it was me or DriveThru - I've done that successfully many times before...
Maybe I'll upload a new file and pick up Stefan's underscores too.
