You are guys sure know how to make a fella feel loved! Thank youuuuuuuu all so much! It's been a swell birthday and I've never been happier to be here and on DA (which I've been doing for almost 9 years!) DA may be run by silly people and have some silly policies (sooo silly), but you can't beat friends like you guys!   

           

By the way, I'm still still still planning to do "Dreadful Tales", the magazine group which I wrote about here: New Group! "Dreadful Tales: The Journal of Lurid Adventure"
It's Here! :icondreadful-tales:
Penny Dreadfuls, Dime Novels, Pulp Magazines: the 10c mass produced serial fiction of a century ago. From this “low culture” arose characters and trends and careers that have endured into our day. This lurid, exploitative literary format included highly energetic writing and arresting illustration. Let's bring it back!

In order to participate in, join, or even understand this group, you have to have a sense of the flavor we're aiming at here. We're all going back in time to the mid 19th to early 20th centuries to celebrate the throwaway pop literature of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This is by no means confined to England, America and friends are included. We're talking about PULP: mass produced magazines, newspapers, leaflets, that brought thrilling stories to the public, chapter by cliff-hanging chapter! They were kn, and I know I said I'd get back to it in July, but I feel like it took this long to catch my breath and get my head on straight again. Plus I feel more encouraged after having cranked out a story ( Lacerators
Lacerators
                                “Were the curious to seek that level of mind,
                                Despite the wizard's warning,
                                Surely shall he be fated to find
                                The death hounds of Bantu Kording”
                                               ). So here's hoping you writers, illustrators, and antiquarians are still up for it!
