The 'Make Yourself' Issue

Peace Stars ^_^

Issue 8, the first in the Dream Definition series, has finally arrived. It gave layout-issues like no other before it, but it was worth the difficult birth, from which the layout faeries are still recovering. Intent on reminding us of the importance of creating your path as opposed to letting it happen to you, the dream definition issue focusing on heart-fueled identity is glowing with metaheart light. The feisty brainchild includes the gorgeous imagery of Aki Hirata-Baker, and Anyabwile Love, lovely talks with Aqua Islanders Startist and Bacchanal, Samax Amen, Robert Trujillo, Corinne Stevie! (painter of the cover image and femcee extraordinaire), and Valjeanne Jeffers, and the ModernMyths of Tonya Moore, Dazjae Zoem, and Valjeanne Jeffers to name a few of the gems.

note: We're testing out a new printer who, if all works out, will have issues available as low as 6- 8 beans an issue vs. Lulu's insanity which is usually 17 beans an issue with no mark-up... If we have to use Lulu, we will, but we are steadily looking for the best alternative to stick with for the long haul. Your patience is appreciated. We've tried a few printers that just didn't work out, but we're not giving up, and this new one looks veddy promising.

Next issue:
We're laying out the January issue now. If you're interested in submitting contact us soon-like *_^ We ran out of room in issue 8 (the new printer we're testing out has a page limit for the low price we want to offer), and we want to be sure we can include as much magik as possible. Fashion Edi's/ Photostories are def welcome. We can usually always make room for Modern Myth Flash fiction (a page or two in length... for longer pieces we need to know in enough time to save space for it). Articles of 500-800 words, and photographic splendo we'll def have a good amount of room for.

Issue deadline: December 15 ( the issue may be filled up by then, but we can save your subs for the following issues if we run out of room for mid-December arrivals)
