I've been away for a few days with a virus, but am back and will post regular updates! We have selected the stories for Issue #3 ... and here they are!
Yvonne Owens "Tam Lin" a medieval tale of love and faeries.
Lannie Pihajlic "Recycling Can Be Heroic" A tale of how NYC sanitation workers rescue a certain musical hero from the void..
"Sarah Darbee "Of Earth" Clashing cultures and a wannabe rebel.
Christopher Muscato "Riders in the Sky" Legendary riders on steel horses and union organizing..."The Rider pulled on his goggles, the lenses a hellish red. He grinned and held out his hand. 'Yippie-i-ay, partner.' "
Eleanor Cooke "Old Willum’s Final Tale" "Even as his insides were twisted up with nerves, the storyteller in Willum noted that the atmosphere was perfect. The screaming ghosts scoring bright lines across the sky, the giant fire casting flickering shadows across the worried faces of the villagers."
Priya Sridhar "Blanket Girls" "I hope this pink lasts forever," Alda said. "It makes me think of you, Aunt Nikola."
"I hope it changes colors!" Lia responded. "It's more fun that way!"

Only in silence the word,
only in dark the light,
only in dying life:
bright the hawk’s flight
on the empty sky.

Our hearts go out to our neighbors in Los Angeles.

Hello everyone - we had a request for a full breakdown of what we will be spending the money we raise on. As you can see, it's all about our contributors and the web team who make all the magic happen. Breakdown:
Writers & Poets: still "soft" but it's $20 for each story, $10 to each poet. $20 for each artist + $10 for wingdings, borders, etc.
Cover & background artists: $50 each (Lauren Raine & Valerianna Claff)
Web Expenses: will be at a minimum of $400. (We are expecting this to go up and, very likely, double).*

* This amount does not include our web host or domain costs, just the people working on the web.

Miscellaneous (web, mailings, promo etc.). $150 (this will be higher)
We pay semi-pro, for art and poetry, our rates make the work we publish award-eligible. We have to keep working on that for writers! With your support, we can do it.
Please share the link for this fundraiser and be a part of it all.
