I'm giving it a go this year too (first time) I've got a zombie theme going and it's called They Feed On Flesh - and here I am:
I'm on 7,593 so far but struggling a bit, need to get my thinking cap back on
I'm in this year, though I doubt I will manage the full 50k.
I find the servers aren't too bad in the mornings GMT, presumably because the opposite side of the world is still asleep :)
The last issue looks really nice :)
I had the opportunity to make an interview with Uwe Jarling too. Besides his wonderful works I discovered a very nice guy too ;)
Oops, just forgot tell about 18th and 19th of October.
On these days the annual Frankfurt Book Fair is opened for general public.
My wife and I will be there on both days. I really look forward.
this week I'm on holiday. That means I stay at home except 18th and 19th of October. I use a lot of my spare time for reading and for exploring Wonderlands and The David Gemmell Legend Award.
So far I didn't know Falcata Times.
I found a hint at this forum entry:

Based on this I found following blog entry from Liz:

I downloaded all available issues of Falcata Times and had a first look at issue 7.
I'm really impressed. I can't even imagine how much time you spent for this monster issue.
To be honest you are a really busy man and it seems you are well known in fantasy community.
May I ask you how you manage all these things.
I'm always short of time (job, family, hobby).

That is really kind: thank you! My website is nearly up -- it's under preparation and should be around next week. It's very flattering to be offered an interview.
And thank for the friends request: lovely to meet you!
best wishes,
Kari
