Lots of interesting things have crossed my desk this past week. Great new design and technology projects that have kept me here late, updates to the Canadian Beer Review (ok, one of these days I'll stop talking about it...). And I'm anticipating the arrival of my new smokin' PC, so that I can get my grammar mistake filled columns out twice as fast! Gonna be nice to get the thing home and hook it up to the cable modem so I can do this typing there instead of at my nice new office.
Anyway, enough babble. This week DargonZine the e-zine of collaborative fantasy fiction - quite likely the longest running Internet based publication. And another cerebral short'n at the end.
E-zine Description: From the site: DargonZine is an electronic magazine (ISSN 1080-9910) that prints original medieval fantasy stories written by aspiring Internet writers. It is the publication vehicle of the Dargon Project, a collaborative writing group where authors write in a common milieu, sharing settings and characters. The project was founded to allow aspiring writers on the Internet to meet and become better writers through mutual contact and collaboration. DargonZine only prints stories which take place in this setting. DargonZine is the successor of FSFnet, which was the Dargon Project's original magazine. Between FSFnet and DargonZine, we have been continually producing collaborative fantasy fiction since 1985 and are the longest-running electronic magazine on the Internet.

It is separated from the rest of the kingdom by a vast wood and a range of hills, and is ruled by the young Lord Clifton Dargon. Dargon Keep stands on a hill overlooking the town and port of Dargon, which lie at the mouth of the River Coldwell. The port is Dargon's only link to the more populated south, and the town is an active and busy place. Adventure can be found both within the city's walls and in the surrounding wildlands." Each issue has multiple stories, by various authors some of whom are new, others who are seeming regulars. Each story set in Dargon and its environs describes various characters and their time spent living and exploring there. Writing Quality/Style - 5 Regularity - 5 Extras - 5 Overall - 5
E-zine Title: STARDUST E-zine Description: >From the site: The STARDUST spacecraft will blast off on a small Delta rocket in February of 1999 - its destination: the comet Wild 2 (pronounced vilt 2). To gain energy for the long trip to Wild 2, the spacecraft will loop back to Earth and use our gravity field to slingshot toward the comet. The encounter with Wild 2 will take place in 2004, at a distance of about 400 million kilometers from Earth. Enroute to the comet, the spacecraft will make two loops around the sun and collect interstellar dust particles. This moderate traffic notification list keeps you up to date on the status of the STARDUST project as described above. Each mailer contains a project status or related news items and technology information. The spacecraft was launched successfully on February 7th and this list will keep you up to date on its progress.
