Thank for checking us out----and thanks to those of you who are already subscribers.. ..... we are grateful!
We've been here for a complete year- and that's something that we are proud of. We have been able to offer you some wonderful stories-and we have been able to publish some first time authors- which is a really good feeling (for both the author and us) We have discovered some talented writers, and we have been fortunate enough to be able to bring you several stories from them....see our page dedicated to our past authors and the stories they have written. I think that you'll find that this magazine is indeed different from the vast assortment of online magazines that you can find.
We hope to be able to continue to provide you with another year of new and unusual stories, both online and in print- and we promise that our online issue will always be free. We are presently looking at adding new things to both our online and print issue. We recently added horror (mild- very mild horror) and would like you to tell us what you think about broadening our format.

This unusual photo was sent to us by V. Ulea and was taken during a trip to the Vatican....it's a mystical and spiritual experience at the same time.
Have you taken a photo that turned out a bit differently than you anticiapted? Sometimes what you think is a mistake turns out to be somthing more interesting that what you intended......what do you see when you look at this?
My apologies- the January print issue will be delayed until the end of the month due to a myriad of unforeseen problems....the holidays played a small role in this, as did some formatting problems that chose to pick me and my January issue to present themselves....egad's!!
Gremlins in the works...what can I say? But it will be ready by the end of the month and everyone will get their issues mailed as soon as we get them.
April is already in the works, so we should be back on schedule by then!
We had a suggestion from one of our readers/authors...and we are going to take a stab at it. Literally. Other magazines are doing it....so we thought, why not?
If you have a story that you know needs some serious work- toss it over to Holmes and let him use his rather sharp and often biting satire take a gander at it. Not for the weak hearted, or easily bruised egos- this is only for those who really want to have their story gone over with a fine tooth comb- without the benefit of conditioner. Tender hearted individuals need not apply.
Got a story....need a new perspective? Send it here:
Let Holmes help you.....in his unmedicated state he tends to offer sometimes callous opinion that need to be softened by out other staff members. He will be medication free during these rampages- so don't submit if your not gonna commit!
Stories sent in here may end up online at a later date- Under our "What we don't want!" Column. And yes- we will offer voting on those stories as well. The winner could actually end up with their story in print- who knows? Anything is possible.
Please note, this address is not for routine submissions- but only for those wishing to have manuscripts closely scrutinized- and are willing to take the abuse. No sugar coating here....just plain and simple facts from our plain and simple staff.
Now is the time to order your print issue...60 pages of stories-great info-contest winners and more....only $8.00.......now that's a bargain! Until March 2009 S/H included in all sales. It's worth it for the cover art alone!
