Spoiler: the volcano wins
1. My poem "The Antiquities of Herculaneum" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It was inspired by reading a blistering review of a disastrous movie and thinking the people who died in the 79 CE eruption of Vesuvius really deserved a break.
2. I still don't want to see Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), but this is some pretty great mermaid concept art.
3. An Alphabet of Embers is fully funded and rocketing toward its second stretch goal! A little less than $1200 more and you can sell all the rhyming mermaid poetry your heart desires to a special April Fool's Day issue of Stone Telling. In the meantime, the anthology is now open to submissions and guidelines are here.

rose_lemberg drew me a marvelous pair of aquatic critters as a reward for backing the Kickstarter within a lucky window of time. I will link to them tomorrow when they are publicly available. They are spiny and wonderful!
5. The Kickstarter for Uncanny: A Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy just went live this afternoon and they are already nearly half funded! I've had a poem solicited for the project and I am in very fine company—I really want to read their work. Throw money at this endeavor! Space unicorns for everyone!
Tonightderspatchel and I attended the second open rehearsal of usernamenumber and company's The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged. (I don't know anyone else's LJ-handle. Collectively they are the RSC Shakespeare Company. The "R" stands for "RSC.") They are performing it in August at Loncon 3. I won't be there, but I strongly recommend that anyone attending make the time in their schedule to see this show. There's blank verse, amazing wigs, toy boats, sportscasting, vomit . . . You know. Culture.
