Counting down
Release Day is just 4 days away? When did that happen?! It’s okay, we’re ready for it. I was just updating my list and there’s not actually much more we can do before it’s time to actually release the...
View ArticleYou been running all over town
We got the proof of Issue 9 today! To our relief, it looks great (it’s always a relief that we didn’t screw something up and need to redo it). I also mailed out a bunch of contracts/payments. I was...
View ArticleAnd another one gone, and another one gone
All submissions to Issue 10 that we’ve received have been read. Kay and I went through the last 20 or so, including the ones we received today. A few more pretty good ones in today’s batch. We’ll read...
View ArticleLately there’s been too much of this
One week from today, we hop in our car and start driving. Fortunately it’s not too long a drive to Montreal. More reading, more preparing for WorldCon. We tore up the house again tonight, and I’ve...
View ArticleI’m not meant to play this part
You people are really keeping us busy. The submissions keep on coming. We’ve whittled them down to a slim pool… it turned out to be tougher than we expected. I don’t know why I’d be surprised, it makes...
View ArticleI blink and answer “Neon.”
I was up late last night getting the issue out, so I was exhausted and forgot to post. This morning I posted separately about Issue 9′s content. So yesterday… oye. Well we got a bunch of stories at the...
View ArticleBusted me for disturbin’ the almighty peace
Just because I’ve been quiet doesn’t mean nothing’s been going on. In fact, we’ve been up until 1am the last few nights working. The results: today I finally heard back from the last writer, and with...
View ArticleOpen up the throttle and stir a little dust
As I mentioned in a post earlier, Issue 9′s cover art was featured in a post on BoingBoing. It drove a lot of traffic to the site, which was a nice surprise – we didn’t know about the post until it’d...
View ArticleLooking for adventure of a new and different kind
I didn’t have quite as much time today to work on the magazine as I’d hoped; I had a blast spending time with my son instead. Having said that, I did get a few things done. Some of you may have read my...

A quick note on swear words, because I’ve been asked a few times but I haven’t addressed it here: We don’t object to submissions with swear words. But there has to be a legitimate rationale for any...
View ArticleSo many winds that blow
We are all caught up on reading. We’ll be reading new stories as they come in over the next couple of days. Kay and I put our heads together for a number of things today. We set out several more genres...
View ArticleI’m sane but I’m overwhelmed
One of the two declarations in this post’s title is a lie. Today was one of those days where I got a lot done, but the todo list didn’t seem to get any shorter. I hate those days… no matter how much...
View ArticleMakes me wanna turn around and face me
Today was primarily a reading day. We had a mild uptick in submissions, which we hope means we’re hitting that rush we’ve been half-expecting. We’ve already read a few that we’re extremely pleased...
View ArticleDamned if I’ll yield at the end of the chase
It was too late to post last night when I finally had the chance, although in my sleep-deprived state the results would have been pretty entertaining. Editing happened! We got a couple pieces of issue...
View ArticleI like my rules, baby, etched in stone
We got back some of the edited content with comments, all of which were pretty reasonable. So I was able to take some of it and get it formatted and inserted into the document for the print edition....

I played around as well I was able
So much to do… so much to talk about… I’m barely awake after staying up past 1am to deal with the website issues and then actually get the new issue released. But there is much to blog about, so here I...
View ArticleForget about your worries and your strife
I thought I was going to get burned out, having to read so much in such a short time. But I’m not, for 2 reasons. First, the quality of stories we got for the LGBTQ issue was exceptional – our...

Stats! Now that we’ve closed submissions on our first year of issues, I went and counted up our Fiction submission totals. I found some very interesting things about our Male/Female submission ratios....
View ArticleYou’ve got a real type of thing going down
Whew! What a weekend! The site was down for about 24 hours. This was due to some unforeseen (and still not completely explained) issues when moving the site to a new server. Our webguru Matt worked his...
