GT Pre-sales?!
We have now officially sold 4 copies of the anthology. *boggle* Split evenly amongst the authors this still isn't quite enough to buy a can of soda, and yet it cannot be disputed that someone is paying money to read what you have written.

That makes you a published author, a feeling considerably sweeter than that provided by any sugar water.

Just don't spend it all in one place, okay? ;)

Caveats:
Please remember that,
1) we aren't going to make any money off of this. This is writing for the love of it;
2) pdf sales will have a much higher profit margin, even though they will be sold at 1/4 the price of the paper version.
