I was just informed by Elaine Mercer from the Black Hat Magick Detective Agency that their website has gone down. As told, the problem seems to be one that her server crashed. From what I understand, servers are very important to geeks; I imagine she feels like one of her arms has been cut off at the moment.

I know how I feel when my ride is in the shop—or, as Gary calls them, my “chariot.”

Blackhatmagick.com currently works, but you’ll find a landing page informing you that the story is gone at the moment (and why.) I’m told you should try reloading the page a few times and see what happens.

If you didn’t notice, today is the first day of the Black Hat Magick and Mill Avenue Vexations crossover fiction.

You can catch the very first part right now, go ahead, check it out and leave a comment.

It’s time to announce the first of two stories that involve a particular celebrity who visits Arizona State University time to time and his appearance in Mill Avenue Vexations and Black Hat Magick; although, not precisely in that order. This upcoming Monday the 9th, a short story of three parts will begin appearing on the Black Hat Magick site that makes a narrative of something that happened earlier this year on ASU campus.

I’m tentatively calling this story Hadaly’s Day Out (feat. Brother Jed) and hopefully it will bring some light and amusement to those who already suffer this celebrity’s presence on the campus.

Immediately after that story is published, a Mill Avenue Vexations short-story and extension of that self-same story will publish here. I will not be announcing its name until it’s time for it’s publication. And you don’t need to read one to enjoy the other—although they’re probably both pretty fun.

As we will get to see Elaine, Frog, Hadaly, Vex, and Nathan in their natural habitat—surrounded by high weirdness.

Be ready, visit Black Hag Magick and catch up now.
