I don’t know if Nathan would want to, as I’ve already saddeled him with a 500k book (!)

I think I may want to see how I do with this, first. Although I am tempted . . .

Maybe you and I could have a separate challenge? Something specifically heroic/epic fantasy based? I don’t really feel like I’ll have a whole lot of time this year, but I’m not averse to considering something. Especially if it had a somewhat different feel to this challenge.

Of course, you could always just threaten to reject any submissions of mine until I read Steven Erikson.
