This is probably the longest it's ever taken  me to get an issue up; what can I say?  Moving, my sister's wedding and life in general have all contributed to the glacially s-l-o-w pace that I moved at this time around....

But -- I think that this issue was worth the wait.  We have great stories by BGM, A. Kite, Henrietta Wotton, Saklani and Alexandra, and the G/B hypertext round robin that so many of us worked on over the Spring and Summer is finally together and ready for your reading pleasure.  I want to give special thanks to Karmen Ghia for all of the hard work that she did on the round robin -- she wrangled all of the writers and parts, and coded all of the html in the finished product.

SFOP is a quarterly 'zine; this means that there will be four issues per year - issues will come out around April, July, September and December. If I can manage it, one issue will focus on a single author, with the other three as general issues.  But, to make this work, I need YOUR help.  I need your stories, your art, your ideas...this is a collaborative effort.  I may host and edit this 'zine, but I can't do it on my own.

One other note: please, please, please -- send feedback to the authors!  Their email addresses are linked to their names, both in the table of contents and within their stories.  At the very least, sign the guestbook, so that we know that you're reading....

Archive note: issues 1 - 14 are available; issue 15 will be available as soon as real life slows down a bit (most likely after the holidays).  If you find errors, please let me know.

Links & Webrings note: the Links & Webrings page has been un-linked until the situation with migrating rings has been resolved.  Many of the rings that have moved from Yahell to Webring are inaccessible, codes are screwed up and images aren't working.  As soon as some resolution has been reached, I will re-link to the page.  Any webring owners that wish to move this site to their queue may do so.
