So, here we are–the second issue of the new “World of Myth”. Time certainly does fly,
especially when it has nothing else to do but slowly and inexorably age and deteriorate every
single thing that it touches. Oh, well, they say, ‘With age, comes wisdom’. Of course, as you get
older, your memory starts to fail, so you end up forgetting most of the things you knew when you
were younger, anyway, so I don’t much see the point in that ‘old’ saying. It must have been some
old guy that came up with it in the first place, you know? And, besides, I....um...? Oh, Blast! I
forgot what my point was supposed to be.
Anyhow, as I have mentioned in mail to a few readers, this site is a new concept for some of us
and a new project for all of us. We are breaking new ground with every issue and it is a time
consuming and often frustrating effort, but it is also definitely a labor of love. We hope (and
frequently pray) that each issue will be better than the last and in order for the staff to be
informed as to whether or not we are accomplishing this goal, we need your input. Please take
the time to rate the stories you read, along with the site as a whole. There is also a forum
available, wherein you may send comments to the staff and/or post general opinions and
questions.
We also want to hear from potential or even established authors and artists, who would like to
see their work appear in the pages of”World of Myth”. See the submissions section for further
information in that regard.
In future issues, aside from more stories, art and poetry, we plan to add a book and movie review
section, sort of an “Egbert and Reaper” column, wherein two of our talented staff will offer
(hopefully) conflicting and (again, hopefully) intelligent views of past and present books and/or
movies that are considered important works in their field (or, maybe they’ll just write about the stuff
they like–it’s hard to tell. Since we don’t pay our staff, they are liable to do or say just about
anything that comes into their demented little minds.)
Another section we hope to present–although still in the planning stage–should offer the reader
new, stimulating and often controversial visions in both artwork and literature. Be on the look
out for updates regarding this “Myth Factor” section.
Eventually, we would like to offer the reader the concept of serialized novels. In each issue
of”World of Myth”, a new chapter would be available for your perusal. And, not worry, if you
miss a chapter, they will be archived, so individual chapters may be pulled up to read at a later
date.
All in all, there is still a lot to be done and a lot more good stuff still to come. If you don’t see
something you really enjoy, as yet, please check back next month to see what else may be new
and possibly exciting at the “World of Myth.”
