I'm starting to play around with ideas for the layout of the book. I'm thinking of arranging it sort of like instant messages or forum posts to keep it informal.

PCE 30 Years Book - a community project

I think that is a great format to use.

Why?

Because I think that it fits perfectly with "community"... Especially if I just go back and recycle some old posts.

Ha!

Also, I want my brothers to do something. At least one of them should be able to get something finished by 2017.

:)

Yep, I want the kind of feel to it that it's like forum posts - more personal than just reviews or articles.

Awesome.  I've had the first few submissions in now, but I still need YOURS. Yes YOU, the one reading this now.

Send, photos, pictures, drawings or write about your PCE TG memories.

Or even fan fiction (keep it clean)!

Excellent.  I will finally have an audience for my Blodia/Timeball fan fiction.

I would love to read that.

Seriously.

Paul,  This is incredibly cool!!  I would love to contribute something!  How are the submissions so far?  More than enough?  Not enough?  Just right?

What kind of timetable are you looking at for getting these in?

I'm kind of strapped for time with other things (life, projects), but would LOVE to contribute and will try in my spare time.  If it takes me a few months to submit something will I be too late?

Thank you,

esteban

Never enough submissions!

Then, even if you have submissions, there might be varying levels of "quality"...

That sort of thing...

Start today and maybe you won't end up doing something the night before the deadline.

I've seen this thread a while now and my thought was submitting something around say the Ys IV translation project. Go through some history on its origins, the ups/downs, setbacks, glorious progress, heck, a lot of material I already wrote in the Ys IV ReadMe, just would need to be summarized, updated further for the dubbing aspect and what not. Problem is I dunno how fast you're moving and I'm not quite in the mood for something like this just yet... :/

My current plan would be to release it on the 30th October 2017, the PCE's birthday.

That gives us lots and lots of time to prepare. I will try to keep pushing things regularly though because it's easy for people to forget and then months go by.

I have only a few submissions so far. I would like a lot more because I hop this can be a kind of document that the community can look back on in a few years and be able to read people's memories and experiences without having to fish around in old forums.

Anyway, I'll say the deadline is...May 2017?

Fantastic!!! Love it. I'll have to share my "First time" experience with TG16 and the path that landed myself here with this awesome community. Thank you for suggesting and working on this!

Great stuff! I'd love to encourage more fan art. Anyone want to make a PCE sculpture? :)
