    Nick’s piece was excellent. Usually when people get to talking about these short story venues they go with a one size fits all mentality. Glad to see he pointed out Plots With Guns and Out Of The Gutter, too.

  2. It’s FaceBook Terrorism, my friends! Alert level is MAUVE!

    They’ve taken MySpace and GoodReads, and now they’re after FaceBook! We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight on FaceBook and in Farmville; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the power of Unfriending.

    We shall defend our profile whatever the cost may be. We shall never surrender.

    Oh, and Brian…BTW….would you like to become a Fan of a book that I haven’t written yet? It’s going to be a series! I’ve made a special page for it, even though I have yet to write it. It will CHANGE THE FACE OF HORROR! It’s so effing awesome! It’s about a vampire…and a werewolf…and some zombies as well…and bukakke, lots of bukakke…

    Both pieces were great. It’s good to know I’m not the only one in the world who can’t stand Facebook anymore.
