Was not a 2313, it was a 2311 which is a psychological medical discharge. I had battled with a learning disability as long as I can remember. So with that this learning disability is the reason I was out of the military. I don't go around sucking dick or take it up the ass, I am not gay. As much as one person calling himself my bastardized short name is trying to tell the world this. Trying to tell the world that I am a 2313 and he's trying to make my magazine out as some gay mag when it doesn't publish that sort of thing.
    The asshole is going around using an e-mail address that is my username on a chatroom and the e-mail of italymail.com. I have a good notion to have that e-mail address yanked out from under him. The facebook account he has was pulled out from under him and now he wants to tell the world he's me. What kind of asshole does something like that trying to pass my pen name off as his gay lover. Don't they know I created the pen name and he's not gay either.

Horror and science fiction with no erotic content. Keep the science fiction set in the present but use 2012 as a timeline now too because that is too ripe not to play with. I don't allow gay content in the magazine so keep that in mind when submitting. I look for stories between 2400-19,000 but now looking for novellas for the 14th Issue. I have a slower keyboard here so it's harder for me to type the guidelines up in detail. I had posted the guidelines via video if you look back at some of the entries here you will know the guidelines. I am putting Issue 14 together right now and it;'s rather thin in terms of stories I am looking for more stories for this issue too. I will be in Richmond in less than a week, so I am hoping to get the word out about the magazine in Richmond. Send the stories as a .doc attachment or a .docx.
    The magazine has no plans on folding though there are a few out there trying to get me to fold by vandalizing the writerscafe.org listing. I am doing the guidelines here because they can't be vandalized. I am doing submission prompts on Twitter for people to submit to the magazine. Send the stories to etherealgazette@gmail.com. I am looking to reissue House of Spiders 3 in this issue of the magazine in it's entirely. I am doing that so I can get the co-writer to get the due she's due with the novella. The novella is been sent to Naked Snake Press a few years ago exactly on February. I am looking for more stories for the issue so if you got something to send go ahead and send it. I did the guidelines via video for those who want to hear it straight from me.

They say God uses dreams to talk to his people and this is the basis for the narrative on the journal this time around. This one is rooted in real life as some of my other entries in the journal are. This one is something that will call to mind the new story in the pages of Issue 13. The blurty will have detail about where one can get the anthology -- you have to join Lulu.com to get the copies of the book for the better price and better deal because I can get these at cost. I am ordering copies of The Fandom Writer 2. My books are the ones known with the immature tags such as Pedobear the sick fuck cartoon that is going around.
     My work is being the subject of a mass boycott because of my no gay policy. But you can check out Dirty Black Winter by going here -- If you read the book and read the preview of it, sincerely took the time and bought the title only I want to know what some of you thought of the title. Hit me up my guestbook to read some of the stories in the book as freebies there are about 8 of the stories that can be read for free. A Cemetery Dream is one of those stories. I am going to order 3 of Dirty Black Winter and 6 of The Fandom Writer 2. I am using the remainder of my royalties from last month to pay for these copies. I must have something to sign for the book signing. It's a good chance the Poe Museum would want me to bring in some books to sign so I am bringing in my own works for this one. I wish I could get GAME OVER for this purpose too. I will stock GAME OVER for next month though and will order the namesake and Issue 13 for the doctor's office.
     ( more to read behind this tag. Keep reading if you want. These entries get as entertaining as the journal entries on codexed.com. )

I found a place to stay in Richmond and it's a motel that is about $37 a night the downer is they take cash only and the thing will be finding where it is in relation to the downtown area. I wrote the address and phone number down so I can keep this handy. The guidelines for the magazine are posted in the last entry here and that will be here for awhile. If you missed it you can catch it again on Lake Fossil Press' YouTube Channel. I am doing this vlog from both here and from tumblr.com. I am going through the blog right now to see how much had changed with the place, the InsaneJournal I actually forgot about for awhile but I am going to use it for vlogging both as personal and business.
     I am trying to get some new stuff written too and there will be a new freebie going up eventually but I want to get the story as Lloyd Phillip Campbell done so I can sell it to a publisher. I have a story I can sell to a publisher right now too and thinking if I can reunite with the publisher of House of Spiders 3 for this one as a solo effort for a digital release of one of my stories for Kindle. I am ready to make my Kindle debut. I think I have another freebie in me and sent one to Horror Library Vol 5 to see what happens.
     I sent one the size of Sick Laden on Codexed.com. I am thinking about doing a double assault of doing one of my freebies with the video paired up with it. I don't have any others for that month but I will be doing more later in the week too here. I had a bad finger so I couldn't type with the thing so I didn't have a new blog in awhile either so here's the blog for the first of the year. Between this and tumblr I am going to have an interesting blog for those to take a look at on here, though I am trying not to take any thunder away from Writings From The Grave. I want people to sign the guestbook with links to their blogs and what not, I can finally comment on wordpress blogs because I got a gravatar account again. This is so I can communicate with people on wordpress or login using my facebook. I can now navigate facebook as any of the fan pages I have on there now -- there is one for Writings From The Grave where you can get all things me on there. I am trying to get Shadow of Darkness' population going too.
     This video is rather short compared to my other update on here the magazine guidelines I go into great length about what I am looking for. I am trying to get the guidelines tweaked so I can take them with me when I go to Richmond, Virginia. I will be going to the library out there or finding a computer lab like I would do when I go to College of DuPage. I would sometimes upload my video from there too. I will be doing all my video offline during that time and will be uploading some of them up from there that are about twenty minutes in length.

I broke down and got a tumblr and designated this one to be A Publisher's Confessional meaning it will be multimedia in the way it's presented. I am going to continue working with InsaneJournal.com and blogspot.com just that it is time I used tumblr too. I had an account as UncleFossil but can't remember the password for it and this is the first time I am using my short name for this. I have it fused with twitter.com and getting a few long time friends joining me on there. I figured it was time I got something there, I am going to keep using this one for business and sometimes posts about my life but the tumblr will be what LiveJournal, The Ethereal Journal and Wordpress.com were. I am thinking about getting a wordpress.org type deal but not use it for freebies but use it for video blogging. That will be the thing I am going to use tumblr for incorporating my personal youtube.com channel with it.
     It is a year ago now since I lost the wordpress blog but I got a gravatar account so I can comment on wordpress blogs. I will be doing more videos often now that I have received one of my Christmas presents a little early this year. Momma Fossil got me some rechargeable batteries and charger for them. Now I just need another camera that does better stills for night shots that take AA batteries and I would be good to go. It's coming closer to the time of my trip to Richmond too and will be doing a long video that will be posted on Tumblr.com and here. I will have different videos for different locations. I will be doing videos for blogspot.com directly too. I should be updating that blog soon too.
     I am also in the home stretch with the anthology. Just waiting on the introduction, and then I can work on the back cover of the anthology. That is all that's left for the anthology too before I upload the project to Lulu.com. I am going to use Tumblr for the process of doing submission guidelines in combination of Lake Fossil Press' fan page on facebook.com. I am trying to get more people checking the place out and working on getting submissions for an EPUB anthology that I want to do -- I am seriously considering of publishing an e-book anthology exclusively for the format. I am seriously thinking about this for one anthology just so I can get a new set of readers here and there, kindle is an option right now but don't know how to design a kindle book. I am thinking that there will be one kindle project in the works or EPUB project, just not sure yet. I want to set the e-book anthology up where people can't share the e-book.
     I never thought the day would be that I would compete against a writer who I almost ushered in but thankful now I didn't usher him in because he would have broke a major rule on my imprint. My no m/m or f/f type content rule is the one he would had broken. I learned about this when I appeared with him in a magazine, this is part of the reason I didn't promote the issue and I was mislabeled an erotica writer when I don't write erotic content. I am thinking of looking around where I can place the one story too that I wrote that's a ghost story. This thing is the most macabre type ghost story I've written because it's got the roots of what I did early on. But now the more extreme dark style I've been prone to doing is more cinematic in feel now. My pen name's work has the cinematic feel with the stories -- the new story as him has the 11,000 word range right now and it's one of the most creative, more macabre stories I've done as him.
     I am looking for a home for the one story that's macabre too in nature. I submitted to an anthology to see what happens with that one. I am trying to find some anthologies that will take the really macabre works. I want to do another novel that's in the dark vein of GAME OVER but thinking what would be a good vehicle for Deadite Press. Something that would show that I am a cult writer as well, thinking I need to do a novel in the style of An Eye In Shadows. Another that is set in the Goth world like GAME OVER is. The anthology and The Fandom Writer 2 are going to be just as on par with how dark the new cycles of work are these days. I am thinking of doing a novel that is along the lines of Less Than Zero but I am not influenced by the other transgressive writers -- The Fandom Writer II is very transgressive for me. GAME OVER is just as transgressive in the Gothic horror delivery.
     I need to do a transgressive horror anthology just to get it out of my system. Dirty Black Winter is a book that is my darkest in terms of collections. I need something that is on par to that collection when I do my next full length novel. I am going to get Mick Mercer's novel so I can get inspired with the feel I want to go with it. Thinking a dark horror story with Goth characters in a blue collar setting. The story I wrote that was sent to Strange Horizons I actually used a fictional village in Will County, Illinois. The real location would be right around Romeoville, Illinois.
     The story as Lloyd Phillip Campbell though -- what shocks me is I captured a real casual attitude towards the macabre, and playing with the thing in the headlines about Blago. I even thought about doing a Gothic story featuring a fictionalized Blagojevich. The idea in my mind is about the what if he actually strongarmed a family of a sick child into draining their funds to the point where the child dies of complications of their health problems and then torments Blago as a ghostly teenager. Only a balsy Republican author can do this one seems like, and this was part of the reason I but heads with a lot of liberals over the years. Their leader is now going away for a long time and he would be loving Bubba long time.
     Blago, you became food for the Gods. The horror Gods that is, I am looking to do some more political blogging too when I do some stuff on tumblr. That one is one that's a little more informal with the blogging because I am going as Nick than my long name on that one. The pen named story I am taking right from the headlines of having a corrupt Governor and taking it one step further by having a mayor doing gruesome things to gang members. I am trying to infuse my faith elements in that one but seems like it's more fun to infuse political elements into the story. I am thinking of doing a Gothic Political novel and making that one available for Booklocker.com. That might be something with Booklocker as I continue to work with Lulu.com. I am looking to do something really dark with the political novel; planning to go darker than I did when I wrote GAME OVER -- but the hard part is trying to keep it a PG-13 rated novel. It might be something in the vein of The Devil's Advocate in the delivery.
     I have a lot of ideas for stories and trying to get some done before years end. The story as Campbell I am trying to get done by years end and seeing if I can sell it to a magazine or to a publisher that takes novelette length works for an anthology. I am writing a few stories for anthologies then working on another freebie work too for codexed.com. I have a few things brewing right now too about that too. Something along the lines of Places Of The Cold and Sick Laden. When doing this I am going to also work on the guidelines as a twitter album image where it would appear okay when it's shrunk.
