I loved that story, Kaz. Well done. Please let us know when it’s out.
@daedalus is right – we should definitely jeep this going. And if forum members get sometjing published it would be great if they could return and post a link after publication.
I also have a story in the forthcoming Hell’s Empire anthology. (Watch out for the demonic sheep…[Read more]

It is sad. And I’m with you, Squidge. I never expected it to just disappear for good with no concrete warning. I saved everything I needed to keep I think but there was so much collective history there. I’m glad so many cloudies have managed to find the Den. At least we can all stay in touch.
I think a monthly comp is a great idea, Seagreen.…[Read more]

Daedalus started the topic Den monthly competition September 2018 in the forum Competitions, Open calls and Writing Opportunities 7 years, 7 months ago
Denizens who used to be members of the sadly defunct Word Cloud will remember the monthly competitions. The format was that the winner of each competition would set the theme and parameters for, and judge, the next month’s competition.
It was a good thing to do and prompted a lot of good writing, so we’re going to keep it. Forgive me for tak…[Read more]

I think we all thought it’ll be OK, it’ll carry on but just get worse to access. Not that we’d wake up to find the whole lot gone…
And yes, to see people join, and build their confidence and skills – whether that led to publishing success or not – was a real privilege and huge part of the community the cloud developed into.

Anyone else? Would be great to keep this going. In that spirit, I’ve had a bit of Vampire fic accepted by Occult Detective Quarterly, which will be in a future issue, as yet uncomfirmed, and a novelette in the anthology Hell’s Empire, which is expected around November.

Good blog, Squidge. Even though we have the Den now, losing the Cloud will leave a huge hole. It didn’t really hit me at first, as we’d been preparing ourselves for some time, and there were the preparations for the Den to take our minds off things a bit. But it’s only now, partly thanks to your blog, that I’m starting to see how much has been lo…[Read more]

I surprised myself when I looked at the Scribbles, just how long it is since I last blogged. Think it’s cos I’ve not had the time rather than not having material.
Anyway, was feeling a bit melancholy last night about the demise of the cloud, and how the festival would be without that strong cloudie vibe, so I mused a bit about its loss.If you…[Read more]
