Today was very busy, but a lot of it wasn’t CG-related. The biggest thing I did today was get the PDF of issue 12 formatted. It took longer than I’d expected – partly because there was so much more material, but also because there’s a lot more images than our regular issues, all of which […]

WOW so much to tell! First and foremost: the print edition of Issue 12 has been finalized! Today was another example of speediness by the printer: Submitted at 11:58 am, proof ordered at 3:26 pm, proof shipped at 4:46 pm. Less than 5 hours total. Brilliant. I gotta say: DAMN I am so pleased with […]

I thought I was going to get burned out, having to read so much in such a short time. But I’m not, for 2 reasons. First, the quality of stories we got for the LGBTQ issue was exceptional – our shortlist was far larger, even percentage-wise, than usual. And second, we’re so damn excited that […]

So much to do… so much to talk about… I’m barely awake after staying up past 1am to deal with the website issues and then actually get the new issue released. But there is much to blog about, so here I am again. First, congratulations to SirDayWalker for winning the Submission Guesstimate Contest! He guessed […]

It was too late to post last night when I finally had the chance, although in my sleep-deprived state the results would have been pretty entertaining. Editing happened! We got a couple pieces of issue 12 edited and they’re off to their writers for consideration. Only one more left to do, I think. As soon […]
