Xangans Progress Update
The Update’s here, at the top.
Send back the Xangans Publishing Agreements asap guys. Don’t worry about the signing in blood; electrons will do just fine.
As you can see, The Xangans has become Xangans, which is a bit more snappy, and causes less clutter on the cover.
The whole business was beginning to grind me down a bit, so I took a few days off, which means we’re running a bit behind schedule, but none the less we should be in print before month end.
Below is a list of the contributors. Take a look, and give me some feedback

Each piece will have a header, consisting of the title and…. which do you prefer to head your piece, or pieces? Your screen name or your real name? This is separate from the bio page.
Btw, I shall include a contact email address for myself as publisher, and forward any emails that arrive enquiring about any contributor.
Xangans was finally published on 9 June 2010

Screenname works fine for me in header… oooh–how about the web address in header?http://____________.xanga.com/Maybe???either of those over the real name, I think
Screenname.
It’d be cooler! haha.Is methodelevated making the cover?
@theacematt2 - possibly. As in http://www.xanga.com/theacematt2 etc.? Fro instance, http://www.xanga.com/OhitWontBeForever ? Compared to Theacematt2 , it looks clumsy. If people want to seek you out, they have only to enter http://www.xanga.com/ Also, the screen name will be in BW, as will all of the interior.
@OhItWontBeForever - http://www.xanga.com/methodElevated is indeed making the cover.
I like screen names since this is about a blogging community. This is so freaking cool!
I like using screen names as well.Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together.
Ay to screen names.
I’m actually debating between the two. I mean I would like recognition as a person, But at the same time, I worte this as my sn… so i guess I’ll have to go with the flow. The screen name.
I would prefer my real name. However, I would posit that my screenname be posted below my real name in smaller lettering?
@theacematt2 - @OhItWontBeForever - @joyouswind - @The44thHour - @SheepShot - @verified_but_still_denied - @Schristian - I think this would work best: Each author will have a bio page that immediately preceeds one of his contributions, either his biggest, or his first, or whatever works with the order-of-pages jigsaw. This will carry both his real name and screen name. But for his pieces, only one, to avoid the clunky triple heading (title has to go there too.) I would suggest that if you have something published already, then use real name for your piece, as this is what will identify you throughout your career, and is already known to any paper-world readers.
It’s coming together. Use my real name please. Thanks again for all you’ve done to make this happen. I am so grateful and excited.
well….. http://www.xanga.com/theacematt2 points to the -same- address as http://theacematt2.xanga.comthe 2nd one requiring less letters, and reading simpler, I believe. Either one presented before my entries will work fine =)
@theacematt2 - @darkoozeripple - I think it would be simpler if it was mentioned in the book that each of these people could be found online by typing http://username.xanga.comThat way it would only have to be printed once, saving space.
My screen name is cooler than my real name.
I definitely vote screen name as well. Much cooler.
This is amazing and I agree screen names work.
You know what, since this IS a published work, maybe I ought to have my last name as well. I gave you my first name already, if you add a “Watson” to it, that’d be cool. If it’s too late to do that, then it’s okay.
I like what you did with the screen names.
I like the screenname idea. Do you have an index made already of all the pieces that will be in the book?
Yay! Please use my real name. Thank you!
And, as for the generic one-time mention of http://username.xanga.com –bad idea. repetition/ease-of-access ftw.
yay! I would like my real name to be used but if screenname is easier then go for it.
@theacematt2 - (use of “Theacematt2″ alone is okay, though T_T;; sorry for “over-commenting”)
Coolbeans! Screen name for me please. With a dollop of heavy cream!
Screen name, please.
Screen name for me too, please.
No real names for me, period. Either my username or the pen name I gave you is fine though. Whichever strikes you as looking better on the page.
bleh, I’m not in here…lol do it by SN…haha i think that would be cute
=)
I’d much prefer my screenname be used only. How exciting!!
Damn! I didn’t make the list.
verified-but-still-denied is awesome…just saying.
FANTASTIC!
Screen name is cool.
Hmm. Interesting. What do you have to do to take part in this, or is the roster full?
I’d prefer my real name be the header for my piece. Thanks.
what is that? sorry but I don’t follow… o_0;…
never got the agreement
Kinda disappointed I didn’t hear about this until now.
I like my real name, but I wouldn’t want to go against the grain here lol. Screen names are a go
I don’t recall receiving a publishing agreement.
OK
This is awesome! There will be a volume 2 coming out in the future, no?
Good i’m not in it I would of had to kill you.
