How close is this to being complete?
Zor's Journal is a collection of the best Robotech art and fiction from around the world. We also include other material such as articles and poetry from time to time. Contributors may submit material for inclusion in the journal through this web site. Every six months, the best of those submissions are included in an anthology. If submission volume is sufficient, the anthology may transition to quarterly editions.
Zor's Journal is currently attempting to get a license to publish our first edition. A demo copy of our first edition has been presented for consideration by Harmony Gold USA, Inc. If all goes well, a license will be granted and the book will be available soon. However, keep in mind that this is only a proposal, and Harmony Gold has made no committment to this project, and even if they do, many aspects of this anthology could change before it ever makes it to a bookstore.
Until the license is granted, this publication is not available for sale. Once it is available, an online order form will be made available on this web site. Other retailers may also carry the Journal online and in their stores. We expect this product to be ready by late 2008 or early 2009.
Zor's Journal is now accepting submissions. Please understand, we still do not have a license, so significant changes to the project, including cancellation of the entire project may still occur. However we would like to get ahead of the game and start accepting your original Robotech material so we will be ready to go to print as soon as possible once negotiations are complete.

There really isn't much that we can say about the progress we are making at this time. We would like to get official approval for this project from Harmony Gold, and are hopefull that this will be the case. However, there is no way to predict the final outcome of all of this. For now, this remains a fan project until Harmony Gold says otherwise. Keep checking back for more information as it becomes available.
What we need now is market research. We need to be able to show Harmony Gold that this anthology will sell. To that end, we have set up a poll on this site. Please participate in this poll. The results will be presented to Harmony Gold in order to demonstrate that interest in this product exists. This data will also be used to determine how many copies of the Journal will need to be printed for our first issue, hopefully available this summer. While we appreciate your enthusiasm in this project, please only vote once. We wish the poll results to be as accurate as possible. We do, however, encourage you to invite as many of your friends to take the poll as possible.
