Welcome to the direct descendant of Dragon's Lair Webzine:
Shakedown Issue #1!

Issue 2 will be online March 1st.
You are vistor number
to this page since Feburary 7th 1997.
The
name Aphelion is a sentimental one for me because it was the title of
the fanzine published by the University of Georgia Science Fiction
Appreciation and Discussion Club. Other writers to have come from this
club include Tom Deitz and C.S. Freedman. I was a member during 1976-78
and was proud to have some poetry and a story published in the original
Aphelion Fanzine. The name is used with respect and many fond memories
of my fellow club members, and with the permission of the publishers of
the fanzine. Many thanks are due to my friends, especally Gil and
Margaret Head for allowing me the use of the Aphelion name, Tom Deitz
for advice when I first started writing, Celia for understanding, and
all UGASFADC members for their frendship and support. Although we've
all moved farther apart since way back then, you are always in my
heart.
Now
this is the successor to Dragon's Lair Webzine, which has been closed
down. I hope to keep up the high standards set by the Lair and keep
everyone coming back for a good time and some great stories! One thing
you need to know is that this Zine is not meant to stroke my own ego.
It is meant to be a forum for new writers to hone their skills, get
their names in front of the public, and have a lot of fun doing so. I
have an e-mail address for submissions, click
here to submit a story. A set of guidlines for those
submissions is now online . For now I hope everyone will bear with me
while I get the Zine on it's feet. I'd like to thank Roger Bennett for
all his help and for giving me the go-ahead to keep the spirit of
Dragon's Lair Webzine alive. Roger, without you none of this would be
possible. Thank you and best of luck as a pro writer!
