I found something we might be able to use for voting on stories, should this anthology ever get underway. It's called <a href="http://uservoice.com/">User Voice</a>.

I think the competition is a different beast altogether. It has a theme and the stories were rated by a small panel. Very different to a full community effort. Also, there weren't enough entries for a full anthology.<br />

In light of this current project, I'm holding off on the competition until we have some firm ideas.

I think we have something here, and it gives us the mechanism for future anthologies. Let's just turn our annual competitions into anthologies. We could start right now with the 2008 results and work through the learning curve with it so that the 2009 would go to press (actual or virtual) much faster. We already know how to do the competition, so that only leaves the editing and publishing part to learn and/or staff.

I like the idea, but will the winners of the annual Crimespace competition be automatically included as well? And speaking of the annual competition, I haven't heard anything about it so far. Does anybody have any info about it?

Great idea! I'd definitely be interested, although I'm ambivalent about the concept of voting. On the other hand, I can see the need for quality control. Limiting the word count per story would enable more people to be included. And once judgment day passes and the chosen are selected, maybe all the submissions could be posted online somehow. I'd hate to see this online community devolve into something too restrictive and critical.

Yes, I know. But don't you think it's pretty dishonest to gather a bunch of stories from your friends and publish them as "best"?

The point is these are just a collection of good stories as decided on by whomever. The stories don't have to have a common theme (well, the mystery ones have to be crime fiction).<br />
<br />
So these themeless anthologies to pretty well.
