TorDot: What's it all about?

A week+ ago I mentioned that everyone should sign up for our "new project." We were being a little quiet about what the project is since it keeps evolving as we are working on it. This article on Bloggasm, however, basically says it...

"Tor Books, a major science fiction and fantasy publisher, announced recently that it would offer free weekly ebooks of its print titles if you sign up for its email newsletter. But this is just part of a larger online expansion that will include social networking and the publication of original short fiction and nonfiction....it's intended to be a "go-to site, a central community" for science fiction and fantasy fans."

I will add that the commissioned fiction will be accompanied by commissioned artwork and we are working gallery section that will contain portfolios for 100 artists. This wont be the kind of peer-to-peer workshop site that ConceptArt.org and CgSociety is, but it will be a place for fans and art directors to get a taste of an artist's work and then link into the artists' sites.
