I submitted a short story about Typhus, the Herald of Nurgle, to the Black Library for their upcoming compilation, Treacheries of the Space Marines. Since the eight week deadline for contacting the authors they want to work with has passed, I'm going to assume my story idea was not chosen.
I'll just have to finish it, and post it here! I will post my submission underneath this post.

Deadlines and Updates
I am honestly attempting to write more than one story for this blog. The usual excuses apply and are just as usually lame. I should have a second story up by Thursday, August 27. It is even oddly topical with GW's recent releases, but that is all I will say at the moment.
I am toying with the Father Justinian story as well. I want to expand it to the original ending I had in mind, and also throw in more combat detail. I felt, and still feel, that it was truncated and rather weak while rushing through the last couple paragraphs. Writing at a public terminal is not conducive to creativity.
In terms of any sort of regular schedule, my early goal of one story a week was wildly optimistic. I can do one a month, with mild discipline, and if I can keep to that, I will be quite happy.
