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,

If I was any good at writing I would totally submit something. But I'm not :(
ReplyDeleteThank you for offering a venue for literary artists. Creative writing is a process that works with the sickness of uncanny feelings we all have about being alive and mortal in an uncertain reality. Fiction is a diviner's bag sewn from the human heart, and each story we write that makes it whole into the broken world is proof there is healing.
ReplyDeleteKevin - Well all I can say is, keep reading the 'zine, and I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteAl - You're very welcome. And thank you, first off, for the wonderful stories you have gifted us across the years, and secondly, for this insight into the creative process you left us here with. I accept it wholeheartedly. Some times I can almost trick myself into believing in nothing. Some times I succeed. Healing is one thing I can believe in with the confidence born of one who has seen it in action all his life. Let the story begin.
