Ok Castaways, I've an announcement to make - - I have begun an online "magazine" of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and am getting prepped to launch it for free off my blogger account.
The craziest part is, I've already received one half of an unpublished novel's manuscript from a famous, award-winning author; one sweet short story from a famous punk rocker and novelist; and have lined up another punk rocker from the east coast, and have been given leads to at least one other famous award winning novelist, while I myself can promise you that of my own acquaintances across the literary landscape, one up and coming femme fatale of the horror scene will surely lend her hand, and one of my favorite writers alive, yet another award winning writer, well let's just say its a matter of time before he sends me one of his stories or novels.
I began this as an idea to promote aspiring, unpublished authors - and wound up getting submissions already in my inbox from 3 published writers already. The novel is really fucking cool, I can't say much about it right now in deference to maintaining a zero spoiler atmosphere, but this board I installed in Jackory's Insect Lounge [I'm sure he doesn't mind wtf I do here, it's pretty much an abandoned flop house] will keep y'all up to date as to the unfolding hyperdrama that is to become the legacy of the FoFaSF - - my own creation that is growing wings almost of its own volition.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the RS Castaways, I present you with the Welcome post from the zine's site.

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 Welcome to the Freezine of Fantasy and Science Fiction Accepting submissions now. Please submit your short stories, galactic poetry, novellas, or other grotesqueries, including novels to be serialized, to freezinefantasysciencefiction@gmail.com It's about the free and willing exchange of ideas. This is just now getting off the ground, and will proceed at a pace determined by the editors. Rest assured, they are a fleet of supremely adaptable nanobots flowing through my bloodstream. These editors are nothing, if not efficient. They are working on the terms & conditions memo right now. Oh look there it is, flashing in my inbox already. Here's the deal. The Freezine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (or FoFaSF, for short) will be exactly what it claims to be: free. Free for me to host, free to post. Also I'm free to boast, what I don't like the most, will be toast. Writers who submit their stories will get nothing. They will reap the immeasurable benefits of lending their story out. The choice remains theirs to keep it up for a limited time, or indefinitely, whatever floats their boats. The service I am providing freely here is exposure, maybe something more, perhaps something less. You agree to be karmically propelled further up or down the ladder, whichever the case may be. By associating with the Freezine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, you inherit all risks and responsibilities of the consequences. Just think of it: total freedom. Authors published herein reserve the right to contact the editors and request their story or poem or entry be taken down, at any time. The nanofleet is keyed to my sentimentality, so they should be quite cooperative. They've been nothing but gracious to me, their host. I do only as they bid, and so far don't regret a thing. Hold on I'm getting a memo from them. *...---------...* They are telling me that the chances for future harmonious interface with their decisions are virtually guaranteed. I'm not sure what that means exactly - depends on what they mean by virtually, I guess. So there you have it. I'll be pimpin' this thing on myspace, (don't know about facebook: my nanofleet have reported to me they are systemically at odds with the facebook protocol interface), through gmail, twitter, and whatever other means at my disposal I should come across. I'm thinking of disseminating this freezine from random modalities at odds with the establishment, for starters. Then I'll swiftly move on to facebook (after we perfect our loaded firewall zones) and reap the harvest from there. Hope to see you all there -- in the virtual world of cyberspace. ~Your host possessed of nanobots, Shaun "thorngrub" aka "thornswrath" Lawton CLICK HERE TO GOTO THE FREEZINE AND SIGN UP AS A FOLLOWER if you are interested in reading some of the latest cutting edge genre fiction online, for free. |

~Preliminary Announcement~
At least seven of you are wondering, what shape is this thing going to take, and when? I've been propelled here to give you some answers. The fleet have assimilated most of the info they need for a correlative attempt at publishing this daily. They have apparantly tolled masses of demographics from dozens of foreign and familiar countries and together we have determined the optimal format of the FoFaSF's maidenhead founding.
The Freezine will feature two stories per week. One serialized novel or novella, and one stand alone short story. The serialized novel will be published as two or three pages a day, appearing Mondays through Thursdays, four installments per week. These eight to fifteen pages would constitute one chapter, more or less. Serialized novels will run for as many months as they require. On Fridays, a stand alone short story will be published, anywhere from a few pages to, hopefully, not more than the average Subscriber can handle.
By offering one entire story every Friday, Subscribers may look forward to reading it at their leisure, over the weekend. There will be no updates from the Freezine on weekends. Mondays will feature the next few pages of the ongoing novel, continuing Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and pausing on Thursdays (to be continued the following Monday). And so forth.
It will be a streamlined space vessel appositioned for maximum didactic effect. We have received some stunning submissions sure to leave each and every one of you reeling in your seats and drooling for more, each and every day the Freezine updates. With twenty updates a month our intent is to deliver four previously unpublished short stories and one ongoing novel of slipstreamed reading pleasure.
That's five stories each month from five different authors. The editors are striving to keep the quality high and the aspirations low, so get ready for the ride of your lives because when this thing takes off, it will leave you speechless with pride to know you've embarked on one of the wildest rides of your life.
