ARTTU!
Woops, sorry! I somehow missed that message (it was stuck inbetween a 
hundred "Duckburg landmarks" mails). However, I sometimes, when I have the 
time, lean back and dive into the DCML Archive (I do not have the capacity to 
archive it in my own mailbox), so I just found your mail. However, here's my 
answer.

None of my stories have been published yet. I hope to have my first one, "Being 
Donald Duck", published in Scandinavia in late 2002 or early 2003. It should 
have been drawn by now, but because of delays I don't know the reasons for, 
Núñez starts drawing it the week after next.

This week, Erickson told me who will be the artist for my second story, "The 
sequel machine", which really was a big surprise for me - none other than 
Romano Scarpa himself! I can't think of any still living, Donald-related person 
that I admire more than Scarpa - imagine how I felt when I was told that this 
legend actually will draw a story little _me_ has written! This will probably 
not be out for a while, as Scarpa will not start drawing it before August (and 
he's not one of the quickest artist either - but I can't really say I care too 
much about that, as he is the _best_!).

As far as I've understood, the rule is that _after_ the story is drawn, Egmont 
will decide if/when they will print it.
