silwritersguild | August 2009 Newsletter Omissions

It has come to my attention that the "complete list" of Second-Age stories in the August 2009 newsletter was, in fact, somewhat less than complete. The omissions were accidental but no less unfortunate for that, and I offer my apologies to the authors who were left off.

Because I want these stories to enjoy the same attention as the other Second-Age stories for Akallabeth in August, then those that were omitted are listed here. In addition, the current newsletter will be corrected and an erratum published in the next, listing the missing stories there as well.

If you notice another story--your own or someone else's--that you think should be included and is not, please do let us know, and we will see that it is corrected as soon as possible. We are always reachable at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org for any SWG-related questions or concerns.
