Cthulhurotica
Accepted your submission for [this] new anthology but needed to tweak it a little to conform to the standards of the site. Small things: added $ to the price; went to the Dagan website and found the format to be a trade paperback [we use 'tp' for that] so changed the designation from "print"; used the website's expected publication date [that way it will show up in our Forthcoming Books and maybe sell a few!!]; blanked the artists as that particular field is for the cover artist only [you have correctly put the interior art and artists in the contents]. If you know which of the four, or another artist, who is responsible for the cover, please enter him/her in the field. As for the image, we do not have explicit permission from Dagan books to link directly to their site. On [this] page is a list of the sites we do have permission to link plus a further [link] for an explanation of how to get permission. For now I simply downloaded the image from Dagan and then uploaded it to the pub record. Again, welcome, and thanks for editing! --~ Bill, Bluesman 23:56, 14 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Bill,


 * I'm actually Carrie Cuinn, owner and publisher of Dagan Books, as well as the editor for this title. I'm happy to give isfdb permission to use any public information or images we have on our websites. --Cuinn 00:03, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Much appreciated, and congratulations on your enterprise! An ambitious start. Love the cover! --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:18, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Lakeside Circus, Issue One
Hi. I accepted your content submission to and made a couple of small changes and corrections, and I have a a question.

The question: Is Mohlere's "Peregrine: A Review" short fiction, or is it actually a review of a published work or works? If the latter, we would record it differently (which I can help with, if you identify more precisely what is being reviewed).

The changes/corrections (all minor):


 * We don't generally quote titles, unless the title itself is a quote, or some other special meaning is assigned to the quotation marks (e.g., if one title were in quotes, but none of the others, we would keep them). Where a publication puts quotes around all of the titles, we don't include them.  So I removed them.


 * A couple of the entries had the author and title swapped, so I switched them.


 * Where an author uses multiple initials, we put a space after each period. I did that for a couple of the credits.


 * For "generic" titles, such as "Letter from the Editor", where the same title by the same author is likely to appear in multiple works, we disambiguate by adding the publication's title (or a shortened form of it) in parentheses. Here, I added "(Lakeside Circus, Issue One)".


 * For any non-book-length non-fiction, we use the type ESSAY. We reserve NONFICTION for book-length works.  I changed the letter from the editor to ESSAY.

As I said, all very minor. Thank you for taking the time to do all of that data entry. I also took your note to the moderator, with the link to the website and the ISSN, and incorporated that information into the publication notes. Please look the whole thing over and make sure all is as it should be. Thanks. --MartyD 13:07, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
