Welcome to the direct descendant of Dragon's Lair Webzine:
Issue #9!
Issue 9, Volume 1
Issue 10 will be online November 1st. (or thereabouts)
You are vistor number
Since January 27th 1997
Welcome back for our 9th issue! This one isn't really on time,
but HOTMAIL.COM
has been down for the last few days so I can't retrieve all of the
stories submitted to that e-mail address. I'll post the rest of the
stories as soon as possible. If you'd like to be on a mailing list for
notification of the update or for the upload of new issues of Aphelion
then click here
to send me an e-mail. Be sure to put the words Aphelion
Mailing List in the Subject line of the e-mail. This
mailing list will only be used to notify you of new issues and will
never be given out to anyone else... 'cause I hate spam as much as you
do!
In this issue there are new writers, new chapters in our
continued
stories, new continued stories begun, updates on our reports, our
letter column, and a new cartoon.
Please visit our letter column and drop us a note. Our writers like to
read the Lettercol to look for words of encouragement. Not many of you
readers have the time to send e-mail to the writers whose stories you
especially enjoyed. Well, that's why our Assistant Editor worked up the
Letter Column Page, so folks can let everyone know what kind of job
they're doing. Its helped me to realize that I need to do a better job
proofreading, something that I did this issue. I may not have caught
every mistake, but I caught more of 'em!
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 634 Readers visit Aphelion in September! Thank you!
Please keep coming
back for each new issue as it goes online.
Also, there are links to back issues of Aphelion at the
bottom of this page.
You can still see everything that has appeared in the Zine so far.
I have an e-mail address for submissions, click
here to submit a story or just read the submission guidlines.
Some folks have asked about submitting Poetry: While we do not
publish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. I
have been informed that our parent Webzine is back into production!
Dragon's Lair Webzine is back! Way to go, Roger! I knew you couldn't
stay away for very long. This link will take you to Dragon's
Lair Webzine so you can check it out. Also, one of our
writers: Chad Cottle has begun his own Webzine called Titan. This next
link will take you to visit Chad
Cottle's "Titan"These links are repeated at the bottom of
this page for your added convenience
And now, I'll shut up and let you get to reading. Thanks again
