Flashspec arrived today and it looks fantastic. It's quite easily the best-looking publication that I've appeared in so far. I've not had time to read many of the stories yet, so that pleasure is still to come. The first volume was reviewed by quite a few websites, so it'll be interesting to see what people make of the new volume.
Not much other writing news to report. My computer died on me last weekend and the only way I could fix it was to do a destructive restore. Not really a problem, apart from I'd never bothered to back up my writing, music or photos. I lost almost everything; the 70k words of the Ashes of Autumn, the several short stories I had, plus all my character profiles, plans, etc.
Pretty annoying really, but not much could be done. By the time I realised my PC was screwed, it was too late to save anything. Still, at least I emailed A Song for the Dead to Jelly shortly before the incident, so that is saved at least.
I watched The Brothers Grimm the other night. Great concept, terrible movie. The only thing I liked were some of the buildings, particularly the outside of the German city near the start. The rest of the movie was pretty dire.
