I’m excited that I had Cecilia Tan’s Kickstarter book project up on my screen when I went to run some errands, planning to write it up when I returned. It just got funded in the past hour! On Kickstarter, the creative person doing the project only gets any of the funding if the project hits […]
If the first season of Game of Thrones was about Ned Stark, season two is all about Tyrion Lannister. Okay, Peter Dinklage has been playing Tyrion with such scene-stealing awesome that season one was kinda his story too. The George R. R. Martin lines for Tyrion in the book are pretty great and they work […]
I’ve been exploring Kickstarter the last few days and there are a bunch of really cool projects on there. The site is used for a variety of different sorts of creative endeavors. Here are a few person picks of projects I like. Rhinestone Gorilla are funding a burlesque tour. Their video is really creative and […]
So I just posted my first ever Kickstarter project. As I’m sure Blue Blood readers know, Forrest Black and I have been photographically documenting the deathrock scene for over a decade. We would love to do a coffee table book of some of our favorite images from this series. You can see all the info […]
Gothic.net has posted a few more interesting Panel of Experts features. The most recent questions are Do you enjoy novels or anthologies more? and What are your favorite monsters and what specifically appeals to you about them? I felt inadequately special saying vampires, but I was surely not alone with this answer. It is kind […]

I’ve actually gotten pretty decent at […]

I don’t remember why we were in New York, but I remember being on a rooftop, chatting with other writers, with a cityscape in the background, which, at least in my mind’s eye totally looks like New York. It was […]
If they could get away with it, this ep would be called something like “Old Familiar Faces (Not Currently on Spikes)”. We get to catch up with all last season’s survivors, all looking at the same red comet, all wondering what the living fuck they have gotten themselves into. We start with King Joffrey, who […]
For those of you who (a) still miss Warren Ellis’ weekly webcomic Freakangels, and (b) think the image of a terminal psychotic skullfucking a dolphin is a droll one, the nice folks at Avatar have finally started running Crossed: Wish You Were Here. It’s a long-form serialized story set in the world previously explored in […]
