@Texture: I checked but I couldn't find any info about this: are you still not accepting previously published stories? I know that previously this had been because you were using it in a course you were taking (how'd that go, by the way?). The reason I ask is that I feel that the story I wrote for the first Out Of Place, Out Of Time compilation would fit within SF theme, and it would drop into one of the flash-fiction slots pretty nicely. Is this kosher?
Doubt I'll be able to submit anything this time around (don't have anything sitting around that's 'hard SF', and don't know if I'll be able to write anything because travel), so unless I get struck by some crazy inspiration I'll have to hold off for #3.
I was really hoping to submit something for #2, but I've got too much on, not getting to write anywhere near as much as I'd like. I'm looking forward to picking up a copy though.
Just a quick update - I'm reading through submissions and have accepted a few things. If you've sent me something, you should hear back by Monday at the latest. If you haven't heard back by then, please drop me a line. I still have plenty of space for fiction pieces, so if you still want to get involved with issue 2 - the SF issue - drop me a line at editor.weaponizer@gmail.com.
Thanks for your submissions and your support, the standard has been ridiculously high, we've got some unbelievably cool author interviews scheduled, and about three times as many comics as last time, all of which are looking stupendous. I'm incredibly excited about this issue. Street date is looking like early November now, and I'll be accepting submissions up til October. The commissioning email for story illustrators will be coming round next week as well.
Right, that's all the submissions so far read and replied to, as far as I know. Anyone here who hasn't had a reply from me, please let me know. Don't think I missed anyone, but good to make sure.
Okay so here's what I've definitely accepted so far... there are still a few fiction spaces open. New deadline 15 Oct. This issue looks fan-fucking-tastic. Thanks for all your hard work so far guys...
