Honestly, I think that's a terrible idea. For one thing, that would ruin the element of surprise. Another is that people who may have something to contribute might see a list of things they are not interested in, and then decide it's not worth it for them to contribute. And then we miss out on something that may have been cool.Max wrote:Anna, would it be possible to post a list, updated from time to time, with the authors/models you already have received?
Everybody would have the opportunity to see what will be in the book, and the authors got a feedback you received their diagrams before the deadline.
The only receipt confirmation needed is an email saying "Thanks, I got the diagrams." or something to that effect.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but I think that idea would do more harm than good.
Her simple "We have 189 diagrams from 230 authors, totaling 27 pages" or similar is sufficient. It draws interest in what could be in there, as well as shows that you're not alone.

Well, I was hoping to submit something for this book for a long while, but I haven't designed anything yet.
I know I'm getting Origami Design Secrets for Christmas however, so I intend on designing five models for next years book.

Hi! It's been a long while since I've been active on here. I deleted my Dropbox years ago, so some things, like my Dragonfly Varileg guide, are lost to time. I may still have other things, though! Email me if you have any questions.

I just sent over the diagrams for my Dragon Rider, Anna. Tell me what you think about them.
I've fallen down, and I can't get up.

If you look in "My Documents", you should see a folder named "My Scans" where all the images you scan go.
Thanks for your reply Anna! I worked to hard make sure they were perfect, even if they were done by hand. Although, maybe I shouldn't have waited until last Saturday to do them. For some reason I thought it would be easy. Plus, me and my family are going for a holiday trip today and we aren't coming back until December 15, which happens to be the deadline. I actually planned to finish 2 different set of diagrams, each having possibly over a 100 steps in a period of 5 days. And I got the flu on Monday because of the crazy weather, which later turned into a fever. If you put the diagrams under the microscope, you should should see a massive colony of bacteria and viruses. I also had problems sleeping because images of the diagrams kept flashing in my head. I should have just saved my 2-fold butterfly for the book. That would've been pretty funny...
Now that you know what my name is I seriously hope you can actually pronounce it right. Nobody I met has ever pronounced it correctly the first time unless they can speak Chinese. It was such a horrible pain correcting people that I learned to stopped caring.
