Portland get together - this week

Hey all,

As I mentioned a month or so ago, I'm in Portland for the next week (with a brief trip up to the Seattle area on Monday).

Would the Portland folks be available for a meetup sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday?

I was thinking the Cafe in Powell's would be an appropriate place.

Let me know!

Working with a published author?!?

Hello!

Apologies for me crashing in like this, but I just want to share a recent development over on The Astonishing Adventures of Lord Likely!

As the journals celebrate three (THREE!) years of filth, I've somehow managed to wrangle a published author into collaborating with me on his lordship's latest adventure.

Announcements at Ergofiction

Hey weblitters!

Each sunday there is an editorial at the ergofiction magazine. Often I throw some announcements in there of authors starting a new project, contests and stuff like that. I am only human though, so fail at being omniscient, no matter how hard I try.

So I thought I'd let you guys know that if you have a big announcement you are more than welcome to let us know by mailing to ergofiction AT gmail DOT com

Help me run a contest giving away a book

I recently had a book published -- it's a novelty personalized supernatural romance/mystery tale that runs about $50 including postage. (Not my pricing, by the way! I don't value my work *that* dearly!) Anyway, I have the publisher's permission to give away a copy of this book to one of the readers of/visitors to my serial. My thinking is that anyone on my mailing list or posting to my EpiGuide-hosted forum would be able to enter this random drawing.

Southeast Asian meetup?

Anyone in the Southeast Asian region want to meet up? Wink

Well, there will be a convention in Singapore around June (hint: I am organizing a panel...).

The Penny Dreadful

Review Sites, Listings and Guides

A guide to serial weblit in the tradition of the old penny dreadful publications. The site lists weblit updates with excerpts from recent posts, but doesn't host the whole story like digitalnovelists.com does.

Fictionaut

Online Zines

From their site: "Fictionaut is a vibrant literary community that is opening exciting new possibilities for short fiction and poetry. Part self-selecting magazine, part community network, Fictionaut is a way for readers to discover new voices and for writers to share their work, gain recognition, and connect with their audience and each other."

Oriented more towards what would be published in a traditional lit journal: short fiction, poetry, etc.

Fulltime writers! What does you day look like?

I'm moving to Japan to teach the English to the kiddos, and I'm super excited about it. That happens at the end of March. My last day of work end *checks watch* in about 43 hours. I'm going to have plenty of sitting-around time between packing and visits to friends. I plan on having several posts queued up before I head over so that I can have settling-in time in my new digs.
