Happy Anniversary, BCS
Tomorrow Scott Andrews' Beneath Ceaseless Skies goes live with its second anniversary issue. Those of you already familiar with BCS know what it set out to do: adventure fantasy with a literary bent (think Fritz Leiber more than REH) and it's done it well, at a time when very few places are doing it at all. Lou Anders at Pyr Books has done a Why I Love BCS blog post that's a very good intro to anyone not familiar with the site. Scott's published over 100 stories and 45 podcasts in the last two years, and for any new pro publication to make its second year anniversary is a triumph in itself. If you haven't checked it out yet, now would be a good time.
This cake doesn't need any more icing, but if it helps any there's a new Lord Yamada story, "Lady of the Ghost Willow," that goes live at BCS tomorrow too. That'll be the third Lord Yamada story that Scott has published, after "The Mansion of Bones" and "Sanji's Demon."
