The next one is a big one and you got a month to get ready for 
We have been doing this for close to 9 years and soon for 50 issues! I think we would have been here last year, but in 2016 I was tortured with writer's block and couldn't keep to deadlines. Some of the people we started with have left DA or passed away, sadly, but we have kept it going.
Anyhow, come be a part of it and bring us your arts and stories for a pulpy good time!
Okay, buddies, these people need faves, stat! Comments too!
Okay, now, let's rock out to something!
We gonna do some kinda sing along here, but you are prolly hearing these for the first time, so I guess I will wait until you know them really well:
Thank you for coming and looking, my buddies! I hope you're having good times!
BUNCH OF WAITING - FEATURES - SONGS - NEWS
[DEVIATION]
[EMOTE] Did you know that I HAVE A BOOK OUT? Cuz I have one. [EMOTE]Well, "The Rocket King in Green" is my third one, and if you got the other ones, well, this is the one to really get, cuz this one is way more best! [EMOTE]
[EMOTE] Yes, I am still waiting for Lulu to approve the book for global distribution... which the FAQ says may take weeks yet. I am feeling super impatient, cuz, you know, I want ppl to be able to get this thing at all the places they look for it.
[EMOTE]Also! I don't know if you guys read "Nameless Sails", but I finally got that sucker up over 200,000 words! No, I am not just tormenting my hero, Skid, I am getting him someplace, it's just kind of a round-about journey. Dude has got to find some things out along the way!

[EMOTE] Also! We are extending the HARDBOILED CONTEST to the next issue of Dreadful Tales, and the submissions still go here: https://www.deviantart.com/dreadful-tales/gallery/102519605/hardboiled-potboiler-contest-2026

[EMOTE] Tom Petty famously said: "Waiting is real hard to do", or words to that effect, and I am sure finding that out! Well, part of that was waiting for packages (Amazon brought me my new reading glasses and they sure dragged ass bringing me some Purell), but mostly it's me waiting for my new book, "The Rocket King in Green" to be approved for global distribution! [EMOTE]
[EMOTE] There was a three day weekend for Labor Day (I know the USA celebrates it on the wrong day), which I made into a four day weekend! Been using it to finish some art and do a whole lot of writing! Pretty good weekend! I got me a pizza too, cuz I felt I had earned a cheat day [EMOTE]

[EMOTE] So! With my new book "The Rocket king in Green" got slowed down, since the second proof copy I ordered was just the first one sent to me over again. I talked to the people at Lulu and they sent me the proper one at no additional cost. That finally arrived on Thursday the 27th. There was a technical problem on the site, and I got another ticket in, so it was on Friday the 28th after work that I was finally able to submit the book for approval for global distribution (that means places like Amazon, etc.). It is one week later and I am still waiting. However, if you want the book, YOU CAN STILL BUY IT RIGHT HERE, at the same price that the other sites will be selling it at.
[EMOTE]I took a four day weekend, so I did not work today. Work is a hectic place with some difficult people. But, at least we finally got our rain back! [EMOTE]
[EMOTE] Oh! And if you happen to be a fan of my series "Namaless Sails", I have been adding to writing that this week. Last year I added
