No, I didn’t have any contact with Malki & co before submitting, except to ask a question about the rules. After submitting I figured the inventor idea was way too obvious and they’d have a hundred better takes on it.

The story I’ve submitted to Machine of Death 2 is intentionally a bit more niche in terms of subject matter, because most of my favourite stories in the original collection ended up being the unusual ones.

i googled you because i was surprised you weren’t one of the three people who directed the book. i wonder, were you one of the first people to write a machine of death story? did you come up with the idea for the story on your own or you had a chat with them yet? i’m really surprised that it’s the only ‘origin story’ for the machine in the compilation and it’s so good. thanks,

santiago

I’m basicly in the boondocks, if the boondocks was a frozen wasteland of death and hate.

All the writers are excellent, and Chris Hastings and Aaron Diaz are some of my favorite artists. I WILL SPEND MONEY ON THIS.

Since I’m in Canada, I likely willnot be able to get it for a few years, most likely.

Ugh. Only 1/4. I’m not buying this!

Thank god Ryan North is there to pull up the rest of them.

I guess I’ll have to sell my soul to PayPal and get it shipped or something.

Mainly because my deathsheet said “Trampled to death by massive first day crowds for ‘The Last Airbender'”

I swear my machine is broken.
