(1) I'd be very careful about posting unpublished fiction anywhere online--speaking as a 'zine publisher, small press publisher & writer in general who enters competitions--a HUGE number of contests won't let you enter them if your work has appeared online, even if it's just on your blog. These are the contests that pay $1,000-$5,000 or more in prize money, so, for me, it's worth it not to have unpublished work out there on the nets until it's done the rounds. Unless you are doing something like the web serial you mention--that's a different animal then.

(2) A woman at the Bazaar of the Bizarre bought both your Loonie Dreadfuls because she had read "The Emperor's Old Bones" and said it was one of her favourite short stories. Best thing? She was someone neither Brett nor I had ever met before. A new fan for you! : )
