Also, we're now accepting submissions for our first themed mini-issue, which will be Issue 2.5, and be comprised of a small number of flash (or flash-ish) stories. Word count is 100-1500 words, with an upper boundary of 2000 words.
The mini-issue will launch on Valentine's Day, 2012, and the theme of the stories should match the day, which is to say, should involve romance, erotica, and/or martyrdom. And, of course, bugs.
Mini-issue stories will compensated at $.02/word, which is double our current rate, with a minimum payment of $10 and a maximum of $30.

Though I changed many things, those who read it will recognize rewritten scenes from the original story "Trust". This was written first and foremost for Olli.

Well I finally posted bk1. Yesterday, on time. And yes, today I changed something in chapter 12, that would be in what is now Part 4: Killing God.

So I'm posting an entry because I don't have one. Don't have anything to say. No insightful observations. No bitchy gripping snark. Nope, nope nothing. But at least there now be words on my journal page. A picture will probably take many more months.
