Midwinter Gaming Convention: Interactive Writing Workshop (Jan 18th)

I'll be running my interactive writing workship next year at Midwinter Gaming Convention.  Check out the teaser below!

New this year on Friday, January 18th from 3:30PM-5PM! Join Jason Andrew for a writing workshop!

Do you yearn to write? Are you having trouble completing a story? Do you feel that you lack inspiration or motivation? Do you just stare at the blank page? Are you confused about where to find open-submission projects looking for writers? Come to the Interactive Writing Workshop! Participants will complete a number of short writing exercises designed to stimulate the creative process. The purpose of the workshop is to teach participants the basics of the writing for publication: researching a market, brainstorming for the project, writing a story, and then submitting it. Participants will be working towards actual open-submission markets.

Requirements: All participants should bring whatever writing instruments they feel most comfortable using; bring either a laptop or pen and paper.  Everyone must participate.Potential Target Anthologies:

Story Acceptance: "Yellow is the Color of the Future”

I am very proud to announce that my short story "Yellow is the Color of the Future” has been formally accepted by the editors of the upcoming anthology Atomic-Age Cthulhu from Chaosium Books.  I had a blast writing this story, especially since I've always felt a weird kinship with Ed Wood junior.  This will be my third appearance in an anthology from Chaosium.

Other Appearances in Chaosium anthologies include:

• Geometry of the Soul; Arkham Tales: Stories of the Legendary Haunted City (Call of Cthulhu Fiction) (Chaosium Books, November 2006)



• The Dead Man’s Hand; Frontier Cthulhu: Ancient Horrors in the New World (Call of Cthulhu Fiction) (Chaosium Books, November 2007)

Story Acceptance: Suffered from the Night: Queering Stoker’s Dracula

I am very proud to announce that my short story "The Calm of Despair" has been accepted for the anthology Suffered from the Night: Queering Stoker’s Dracula.

Hunters Hunted 2: Open Source Development Review

Have you felt the urge to kill some vampires, son?

Justin Achilli and the Onyx Path has posted the Hunters Hunted 2 text for perusal as part the open source development of the V20 line. I think this is a big step forward in how RPGs are constructed with the aid and support of the fan communities. (I worked on two of the chapters for Hunters Hunted 2 so naturally I've very excited.)
