THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who voted on the poll I posted earlier concerning the Fullmetal Alchemist Fanbook Project I am working on. I got a total of 80 voters, which is awesome! There is still time to vote, so if you haven't yet, please do! I really appreciate all the feedback I've gotten, and I'm working on a solution to try and accomodate more of the wants demonstrated by voters.

At any rate, I mostly wanted to announce that I've opened up a community for updates. I will still probably post the most important updates here (when submissions open, when I start taking preorders, etc.), so if you're interested in the book but don't want to join, it'll work out. I do encourage you to follow the community--whether or not you actually join doesn't make a difference.

So check it out:

fma_fanbook!!!

I'll probably make the first post there later today. Thank you again for your interest!

Edit: I guess I jumped the gun here a little-- submissions are OPEN, and the submission information is all up at fma_fanbook. :D
