Passing The Grail For Another Round

[dr_pretentious]

I'm still waiting to be able to tell you that other bit of news, but I figured if you're still watching this space, I had to tell you something cool while you wait with me. And this is very cool.

The Grail story might be available in a paper edition in time for Yule. We'll see how it goes. onyxtwilight is designing and formatting it, and we'll be self-publishing it through one of those online printing services, all proceeds to go to the scholarship fund founded by the late George Marvil.

In addition to raising money for George's scholarship, getting a story into the hands of readers who've been agitating for it for years, and teaching me how to use Lulu.com or whichever service we go with, this bit of a side-project will force me to learn how to post podcast files on my website. The story's appearance in print seems like too good an occasion to miss for getting the podcast back out into the world. It's something to do between bouts of work on the Mystery Project.

Oh, great, now you've gone and TOLD people, so now I have to PRODUCE. Whatever were you thinking? >:-P

She knows you so well.

Oh, dear. Since we were talking about this in a comment thread on a previous post, I thought we were already working on this project in the open. Didn't mean to put you on the spot.

I'm kidding, it's fine. I was working on it already. :-)

Interesting timing.

Not intentional. Now is just sorta when all the pieces fell together and we started talking about it again.

It wasn't until I started retooling some old stuff to make the introduction that I realized we're coming up on the fifth anniversary. Maybe that's why the project percolated back to the surface.

One of my all-time favorite stories about anything, ever. I can't read it with a dry eye. I love it and will be buying a copy as soon as it's available.

It still gets me, too. I think it's one of the best things I've written. Well, as soon as it's available, help us spread the word far and wide. Meanwhile, I'll be figuring out the best way to get all the proceeds to the scholarship fund.
