It's Wednesday. I'm bored. Have an update.

*hops from foot to foot* Dammit, Black Library! I want this to come on preorder already! *whines* This is the downside of proofing/editing for the buggers. I get to read really good books once and then have to wait six f'n months to get my hands on them again! (And take it from me this one IS really, really good

i'm gnawing at my nails waiting for the Skull Harvest story. yep, apart from the Slaaneshi decadence and the ultimate hotness of Fulgrim, i'm slowly commiting adultery with some of the Iron Warriors :D

any spoilers as to the content? even if in the finest of fine prints only to be seen under a miscroscope... ;)

I can't spoiler, because I'm under a confidentiality agreement - but I will confirm that while I was proofreading Skull Harvest I definitely emitted several yelps of delight, a few stifled giggles, and may in fact have jumped half out of my chair and cheered at least once. Whatever you're hoping for from it, I certainly don't think you'll be disappointed. :)

And in case you haven't seen it and want it, here's the official spoiler - SH is the story that was chosen to be excerpted for BL's official preview! *grins*

well, obviously :( my asking was a wild shot at best.

and thanks for the link to the excerpt - i really should get a habit of checking online news, once in a while. surprisingly, i find McNeill more and more squee-inducing, ever since the amazing imagery of 'Dead Sky': total industrialisation! surgical extravaganza! bizarre freaks in leather! double hurray for all three points, and then some :D. i squeed over 'Fulgrim's references to Wilde, Blake [and Ayn Rand *cringe*], but some raw machismo is an absolutely different dish.

weeee! that's all i need to know! ))

I just sent you a PM about this whole subject, do let me know what you think!

And oh, McNeill. ♥ He is getting so much better as an author every time he picks up a pen, it's amazing. I mean, I remember thinking Storm of Iron was great, and now I reread it and while still great, it pales in comparison to what came after. I believe there's a rumour that the Iron Warriors may get another full-length novel, too! Hopefully this is true.

Then again I don't think McNeill has the final say on the subject any more - he does mention in the introduction to the reprint of Storm that he's no longer entirely sure which of he and Honsou owns who... *grin*
