Well, here it is, ‘7C4’x already! And FSFnet is beginning its fourth year of publication. This is, in fact, the 40th issue of FSFnet. Apparently it is a success, although I still find it odd that people think of FSFnet as an established zine. I guess, as editor, you lose some perspective as to how you are doing. But despite my pessimism, our readership has continually increased since early 1985, and the quality and number of submissions has been very high. We must be doing something right… and I’ll do what I can to see that we continue to please the readership. If you have any comments or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to drop me a mail file. The authors have been howling for some feedback, and it might convince them to keep them churning out stories…
This issue not only is notable in that it is our third anniversary issue, but that we have two stories from Joseph Curwen, one of our best authors. Unfortunately, Curwen has also recently graduated, which will severely reduce the number of submissions we get from him. In this issue he has provided us with a fantasy short story and the next installment of his Atros series. We also have the next installment in Carlo Samson’s Cydric tale. And the next issue will contain the conclusion of John White’s 4-part story, “Treasure”.
And I suppose I really must talk about the SF short story contest (I’ve put it off two paragraphs already). Unfortunately, because I received no entries, there’s no winner, unless you consider myself a winner, as I get to keep the prizes. Unfortunately, this means that we’re lacking in SF stories, and could use some SF submissions in the immediate future. As always, anyone interested in submitting items, please feel free to contact me. And a reminder to all, back issues can be requested from the BITNET server LISTSERV@TCSVM’s TCSSERVE FILELIST.
Until next time…
