A NEW VENTURE!

Well, after weeks of behind the scenes panicking and email-chatter, I'm proud to announce that I, along with Russell B Farr, Liz Grzyb, and the awesomely lovely Lyn Triffitt, am now one of the proud proprietors of the gonzo SF e-zine Ticonderoga Online.

We're looking for original short stories, between 1,500 and 5,000 words, written by Australian residents. We want bizarre, gonzo stories; SF in the tradition of Howard Waldrop, Jack Womack, Tom Reamy, and Alfred Bester. We want stories that make us as excited as the first time we read "San Diego Lightfoot Sue" or "Night Of The Cooters". Send us the stuff that even you think "What the hell kind of monster have I created here?".

Get over there and read the guidelines, and then submit to us, goldurnit! We want to be the premiere venue for truly cutting edge Australian fiction, so if you're getting a little bleh at all the pale imitations of each other you see when you look around, support something that aims to break some truly new ground.

Besides, if I'm giving up the 6 seconds free a day I was using for sleep, I want it to be worth it...

That address again: Ticonderoga Online. That's Ticonderoga Online.

Okay? :)
