Since January 27th 1997


Welcome back for our 5th issue! In this issue there are new writers, new chapters in our continued stories, updates on our reports, our letter column, and a new cartoon. I'd like to thank those of you who have sent e-mails for your feedback. Keep those e-mails coming, folks! Without those messages we will never know what we need to improve upon. Hope you like the improvements so far!

We had 452 Readers visit Aphelion in May! Thank you! Please keep coming back for each new issue as it goes online.


I have an e-mail address for submissions, click here to submit a story or just read the submission guidlines. For now I hope everyone will bear with me while I get the Zine on it's feet. Some folks have asked about submitting Poetry: While we do not publish poetry ourselves, there is someone for the poets to turn to- The Writer's Club, a poetry Webzine run by one of our friends from the DALnet IRC Chat network. Visit #the_WritersClub on DALnet and check out the Writer's Club Webpage if you are poetically inclined.

And now, I'll shut up and let you get to reading. Thanks again for visiting. Enjoy yourselves!
