Mas Swords Against! Digging in to the proof. It's finally a thing!
Hey ya'll -- the pre-order store is open for the first issue of Swords Against! and the "FlipZine" we did with @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social. Both the physical and digital versions are available. swords-against-the-swords-sorcery-fiction-magazine.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...
Christmas in July! Print proof is back on the collaborative 'zine we did with @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social. Stories by @brynhammond.bsky.social and @Milton Davis. Art by Morinfon and Gary McCluskey.
Still tweaking, but it's coming along. The zine is off to the printer for proofing. Should be done with the main mag sometime tonight... Art by Dean Spencer and me.
Hey ya'll -- fave writers in the sword & sorcery space and my pizo over at @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social / Brackenbury Books delivered! Great to see full books by Bryn @brynhammond.bsky.social and Dariel @draq.bsky.social. I don't know June Parker or Steve Westenra, but eager to dig in.
Finishing up final review with Dariel's and Bryn's stories today. Layout starts tomorrow! We're a little behind for a June delivery, but should be *just* in fulfillment by the end of June. #SwordsAgainst @draq.bsky.social @brynhammond.bsky.social
Final review starts today... I'm so excited to share this @michaelastackpole.bsky.social story with you guys. It's a dandy.
There are 5 hawks in my backyard tree (one is further down inside the tree). I don't know what conference is going on, but I'm assuming all these butthead squirrels are invited.
We made it to the front page! That's so friggin' cool. And cracked 10K! www.backerkit.com
Today's background noise. Tubi is a national treasure. Oh! I forgot Jimmy Smits blew up in the first 10 minutes!
@michaelastackpole.bsky.social Did you make this meme?
Back out on the trail last night. Gotta get ready for a big hike in July...
Probably not what a working author wants to hear... but great Half-Price Books find! @michaelastackpole.bsky.social
I swear the devil didn't make me do it. Let's get that next story and story art! Thanks everyone for your support. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...
Swordlings, We are spitting distance from a Jason Sholtis / Trey Causey S&S comic for Swords Against! Magazine. Completely humbled every time I pop open Backerkit. Almost 300 people say this should be a thing. So great. Share with your buddies and grandmas and that weird guy down the street.
It just started playing on it's own. I swear! Likely carried here by an African swallow.
Watching Sword of the Barbarians while your crowdfund bakes? Yes please. There's a hell of a lot of exposition in this movie. But, also blood.
And the Train keeps a rolling. If we can keep the train going, we'll get more exposure from Backerkit. Share widely... and THANK YOU!
