Issue #1 Now Available!

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 2, 2008, 4:45 PM
Listening to: Blur - Good Song (the calming influence I need right now)

So after getting really angry at a whole slew of websites for not replying to emails, I've gone with the easiest option and damned be to the cost. I was starting to run too far past deadline.

That said, the first issue of Bottom Of The World is now available. Check it out!

[link]

If you're in there, your copy should be arriving by the end of the month (I've got them coming here, and then I'm sending them out again - that seemed easiest). If you're not in there, go support! In fact, if you are in there, go support and buy more copies!

Please, joking aside, I'd really appreciate any feedback on this, both in terms of production, costs, and anything else that comes to mind. It's issue 1, so a lot of it is me testing the waters. I'd love to hear from any of you via note or email.

Cheers,
Frank

(P.S. To anyone who's also on my mailing list, you're about to get this again in email form ;))

I KNEW it had changed! But then I thought I was just being paranoid and didn't say anything.

You already figured it out. You just were both doing that 100 theme thingy, friends of mine, you're good poets and very nice people :hug:

ps. I like your new lion :nod:

If by ghetto you mean English, as opposed to American, then by all means :)

Yes, I realised almost as soon as I'd sent the last message what you meant, and yes, I'm doing it mostly in prose. I may delve into poetry as well though, who knows? Anyway, you're right there on my front page now - I won't forget to take a look at your work when I'm in a more sober state of mind.

I can switch to 'ghetto' if you feel comfortable?
No, I meant the journal that you have. You know the 100 theme poetry thingy. I just decided to do that, even though it was meant for visual arts. But the good lady alluded to the fact that you also were doing that.
I don't know, maybe that's it. But you do prose...and I never have.

What literary endeavour are you undertaking then?

(I note we're already differing in our spellings)

~Desertlion:iconDesertlion: Jun 14, 2008, 12:36:55 PM
specify?
let's see....no
But in my many tireless years of doing diddly
I have deduced that it is either one of two reasons:
1) We are both fans of the goof
or 2) you are undertaking the same literary endeavor that I am
