New issue! Pak, Poetry, Chandrasekera, Sub-Q, reviews
Added 2016-09-26 23:37:16 +0000 UTCEvening all,
Slightly later than planned (blame roadworks on the A1), our new issue is up! It's our monthly non-fiction focus, which this month means we have an essay by Chris Pak on terraforming and geoengineering in SF, we have the last (sob) instalment of Vajra Chandrasekera's Marginalia column, and reviews kicking off with a look at Peter S. Beagle's <cite>Summerlong</cite>. We also have a poem by Charlotte Geater, and this month's poetry podcast; and last but not least, following on from last week's Samovar editorial, this time Tory Hoke introduces sub-Q, our interactive fiction stretch goal:
This partnership is an honor for sub-Q and a comfortable fit; since its planning phase, sub-Q has modeled its mission after SH, from constructing author-friendly contracts to soliciting diverse contributors and paying professional rates for their work.There's never been a more exciting time to love IF. Choice of Games established a sustainable business model. Inkle Studios' 80 Days achieved mainstream popularity and critical acclaim (including TIME's 2014 Game of the Year). You can find Hatoful Boyfriend on PS4 and Telltale Games' supermassive Game of Thrones on iOS. With abundant tools available, authors are creating IF in Twine, Inkle, Choice of Games, StoryLab, Undum, Inform 7, renPy, and more—and we have ideas and resources to share.
So why not check out the issue? Of course, those of you supporting at $4 or more will be able to download this month's ebook in just a moment, in a post subsequent to this one.
