Stories; back in...black?

was really honestly dreading it, but i actually had loads of fun working with Kenneth Yu over at Philippine Genre Stories.

of course, it was real *work* for him. sorry bout that, Kenneth.

fingers crossed i don't spread reek on your publication, yeah?

in case you haven't yet heard of them, PGS are a small publication with big ideas for, as the name suggests, 'genre' fiction in the country. as Kenneth puts it:

I have a vision for PGS, and a lot of factors will determine if it succeeds or not. It's clearly an uphill battle, but if it fails I at least will have fun trying.

My vision is that PGS will start as a digest that addresses the genre niche in the RP, providing the readers and writers of that niche with an outlet for their reading and writing needs. From there, maybe other kinds of Digests can be developed, but first this one has to self-sustain, and for that I hope enough people will buy--and read, perhaps even write and contribute-- to it. Better to turn a profit than just self-sustain; that way I can pay my writers more, have better binding, use better plates and film, etc.


right. done my bit for advertising. now maybe all three or four readers of this blog (way too many for me to keep track of) will go out and buy it when it comes out. ha.

side effect of the polymagmatization: nausea and vomiting.

not to mention spots.

Are you sure it's food stains? It looks... something else. ;-)

Btw, what was your story about?

skinnyblackcladdink said...

good question...

well. uhm. it's a boy meets girl story. seriously. in an iceberg-y sort of way.

banzai cat said...

Oh, wasn't that in Titanic? :-D
