Is this Chicken Soup thing spec and pretty low-fee? Kind of like a contest without a good prize?
@ Star – Probably!
But it’s still intriguing..
Besides, it sounds like it might be a fun topic to brainstorm on. We all have those moments, and I’ll bet we rarely write about them.
I think the link is wrong- it said hack3d by snyper-3 and the site was something about terrorism, didn’t look like a chicken soup-type book publisher.
It works OK for me…maybe they were hacked and just got it fixed.
I always enjoyed those books … I think I’m going to give them a try. Thanks for the link.
