Well met, all
Firstly, apologies for my lack of contribution to this scroll. I have been unable to gain entry to Candlekeep due to various reasons, but am now back and trudging through the many scrolls herein.
Regarding the status of CKC: The project will be starting up again soon (in a matter of weeks), at which point discussions will be reestablished with the CKC Scribes. Submission ideas will be accepted and we fully intend to proceed with publication of the Compendium. I hope this is good news to all here. The official stance has not yet been finalised, but I believe it wise to proceed with the production of lore, in preparation, at the very least.
If any scribes have further question or concerns with the project, please feel free to PM or email me  |

| Good news. |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

I'd like to redo my material on Sharess and perhaps add some more, if the sages of Candlekeep would be interesting in including it.

We're still gathering a list of possible contributors, along with their supposed contributions, so no specific deadline has been set as of yet.
We'll be sure to inform you of those pertinent details as soon as it is revealed. |

Yes, Alaundo and I are presently composing a list of possible additional contributors to the next and new Volume of the Compendium.
Your name has already been listed.  |

would it be safe to say that Alaundo would be the best person to contact about submissions in general?
Questions I mean.

Alaundo, Wooly, or myself, really. I just recommended that Ziraerl contact Alaundo regarding the query previously posed, because it's not something we've had to deal with and because it involved actual content already posted on his site.
In terms of submissions, though, or questions about potential submissions, Wooly and I are happily available to assist you with details if and when you require them. |

| Great news! And in that case, Sage, I'd like to respectfully add my name to the list. My submission will most likely be a short narrative-style article regarding either the fate/current status of the dragon Garnet, or possibly how Guenhwyvar got from the hands of Josediah Starym to Masoj Hun'net in Menzoberranzan. Both stories intrigued me imensely, and I'd like to connect some of those dots, if you will accept it! |

Not so far as I know, Markus. At this point, I think it would be just easier to say that this new volume has a release "year" of 2013. We'll likely narrow down an exact release month as work on the new Volume progresses. So no deadlines... yet.

You're more than welcome to submit your work, MM. The Compendium process is currently still in "accepting submissions stage," so there is time enough to present your potential submission for consideration.

Edition-neutral in terms of rules, but not necessarily in terms of lore.
The 'meat' of any article can focus on any time period (just look at some of Gray Richarson's as an example of how far back you can go).
The objective should always be to present things in a 'useful anytime' manner, but thats not always a realistic goal. I'm thinking that if something you write needs to have a very specific timeframe, then at least have some part of it give a 'big picture' view of how those events/items/personages relate to the wider Realms ('wider' as in - "over the long-haul").
For instance, if you create a sword, don't just tell us what it does and who has it now, tell us where its been.
All IMO of course. Alaundo, Sage, Wooly, etc... feel free to chime-in/correct/add-to as necessary. |

Largely, that's the case. We're open to Edition-Specific, if that's the way folk want their submissions to go, but we welcome articles that don't also rely on a specific Edition-context for usage. |

You've basically covered it.
I think the easiest [and, therefore, the least confusing] way of approaching this... is to say that so long as the article deals with the Realms, then it's open for possible inclusion. Edition-matters should only be an active consideration if an article deals specifically with, say, the Spellplague, or something focusing on the time before Lolth's Silence, for example. Then it would be necessary to note that we're talking pre- or post-4e. |
