Okay all you audio fans out there, I am please to announce the first of many audio promos or spots for RGR. I created the first one and have a couple different voiceovers ready so I should have a few more up soon. You can check it out here: http://www.raygunrevival.com/Submissions/RGR_monkeys.mp3
Let me know what you think and send it to your favorite podcasters. Let get the word out everyway we can about this great ezine!!!
http://raygunrevival.com/Published/RGR_02_July_2006.pdf
As you may know, we have launched Ray Gun Revival, a free online e-zine devoted to space opera and golden age sci-fi. We publish fresh, original content every two weeks, on the 1st and the 15th. More on that in a moment.
We have some cool stuff this issue, including "Galaxy Store", by Scott Sandridge, "Rest Area", by Tim Baer, "The Assassin of Patience Bay, Part One", by moi, a new featured artist, Erika Green, aka archaenon, and Memory Wipe Chapter One, "The Silver Sun", by Sean T. M. Stiennon (which features original art by E. J. Mickels, II (aka Hisart). All that great space opera for the low-low price of absolutely nothing! (Of course, if you like the idea of paying the authors better, feel free to drop us a donation (http://raygunrevival.com/contact.php) or here: http://www.doubleedgedpublishing.com/support.html 100% of donated funds go back to the authors. We currently pay $10 per story, and would love to get that up to premium rates to attract premium talent and premium stories. Thanks in advance!)
The issue also features an announcement for next week about a brand new feature, alternating Ray Gun Revival podcasts in between the weeks when we publish the printed mag. Therefore, we publish the e-zine on the 1st and 15th and the Ray Gun Revival podcast on the alternating dates. Taylor Kent is heading this up, and it looks like it will be a lot of fun. Check out the Jolly RGR column on the last page for more specifics. We also have a surprise announcer in store, but I'll save that surprise for next time.
