The fact that writers will go through so much to remain writers says something, perhaps everything.
It would be far easier (and nearly always more profitable) to become a real estate agent.

CR: Charon Rising was a science fiction and fantasy fanzine that ran a mind-numbing two issues.  The first (1992; v.1 #1) was printed and distributed complete with five stories and nine illustrations.  The second (1998; v.1 #2) was solely electronic.  The remaining four promised issues (v.2 #1-4) have yet to appear.

DM: The Daily Marklar is an email-based South Park fanzine.  It has lasted over 1300 issues and continues to this day.  It has gone through a variety of format and management changes: DM (2001; 255 issues), DMv2 (2001-2002; 445 issues), DMv3 (2003; 300 issues, including the final 97 in 17 days), SPDM (2003-present; over 370 issues and counting).

CM: The Creative Mind was an email-based creative outlet run by Joseph Becker.  It ran for two volumes: CMv1 (2002; 80 numbered issues + 2 special issues, roughly 3-5 issues per week) and CMv2 (2003; 15 issues, weekly).  It ended when Joseph disappeared on us.  If you hear from him, please let us know.


*1 - Chapters 9-11 of Tabi's story "Killing Fred" were probably intended to be published in a single issue of CMv2, but never did.  I'm not sure what happened.

*2 - "Three Strikes, You're Out" was scheduled to appear in CR #3 which never appeared.

*3 - Kentucky Woman's picture entitled "Cactus" which appeared in CMv1 #18, didn't arrive in my mailbox with the issue and is therefore missing from this archive.   It is listed here simply for completeness.

*4 - Four of the stories by me (Michael J. Ahlers) are now (or soon will be) part of "Sunday Night Fictions" over at my other website Paonia Pawns.
