Hi there.

Sorry if I am posting this everywhere, but this is big :-)

I got a short story commissioned and published by a metal magazine. They wanted something specific and apocalyptic, so I made a plot, fit it into my The Worth of Immortality series, and shipped it over.

Official announcement is here: http://www.richardfalken.com/2020/11/Eight-Minutes-Gets-Published.html

Thanks there!

Now if they started publishing the Hybrid Fiction magazine, they would make my day a bit more round.

I wonder if it is the same. Afaik Metal Obscure is also the name of a metal band. These ones I am dealing with are Spanish-speaking only. Cool people too. --

Truth to be told, my first novel was already published in the US by an actual publisher back in the day.

I plan to relaunch it on my own. I feel a bit weird revisiting that book after so many years, and fact is, the book is not _that_old.

I just packaged the next one and sent it over to Samovar. They take stories translated to English from another language, so it does not look like there is a whole lot of competition for that market.

Yes. Original publisher went down the hole and the publishing rights reverted back to me.

Well, it was not exactly like that but that is the short version.

Making it "fit" into your current works is wise. That makes
your other stories relevant and of potential interest to the
metal mag.

Congratulations. May this be the start of greater things.

We will see.

They are thinking about resurrecting Hybrid Fiction (the magazine) and the editor has promised to review some material from the series. If she likes it, I think I will be able to accomplish my end goal: publish all of the series through a single publication.

Much better than having the fantasy material in a fantasy publication, and the science-fiction material in a science-fiction publication. That would force fans to purchase both of them, which is nopt great.

I assume nothing is ever simple when it comes to copyright. And probably something pretty similar with business closings.

Still, I'm glad to hear it. I care way more about copyright than I probably should.

I don't think so.

Unless LOTR lord lives in a dimension where it rains fire every night, the sun is a
pale metallic shade, everything looks like a volcanic wasteland, and there is a legion
of fire angels with an obsession with honor and bloody retribution, I think there is
no connection.

Honestly, I do still eat it and like it, but not as much as I did when I
was younger. When I was in college, and shortly thereafter, it was not
only the breakfast of Champions, it was the breakfast of slightly hung-over also-rans. :D

I use cold pizza as a compatibility test for my dates. If she stays over, and will eat cold pizza, Drink Pepsi, and enjoy a good burp at 7am... Then she is definately a keeper! Dont mean to but in... Cold Pizza is a serious topic!

Now, cold pizza and a piping hot, strong cup of coffee - that's a hangover- buster.

It's got to be an old-school meat pizza. Artichoke hearts, pesto and tomato won't cut it as Morning Pizza.
