Further Thoughts on Anthroview
13 years ago
"It's a journal from Summercat! And he writes:"
So, thinking further..
Despite being 'in that mood', I am going to cancel Anthroview and Tales at this point. For a period of time, at least.
It's simply a matter of time, money, and the fact that my skill at doing this is... fairly minimal. I'm fairly damn proud of what I've done - it's more than what most people have done - but realistically, I can't afford to do it, and don't have the skill to do it well.
People who have already submitted and completed work for me, I will *slowly* get money out to you to pay you for work done. Financially, I'm shakey right now - and my biggest immediate financial priority is getting the money together for transportation.
What does this mean, long term?
Well, I still think both magazines are a viable idea. I just lack the financial ability and, frankly, the willpower to see them through properly. I may consider switching to an annual format - larger, more art, etc - but it'd be a Further Confusion release.
I'll still be selling (slowly, I need to get an auto-payment site done) electronic copies of Anthroview Issues 0 and 1, and Tales from the Neon Phoenix Issue 0. Once I've cleared all my debts related to this... I will want to commission a study/review of paypal alternatives, including credit card/electronic transactions in person, with a view towards furry usages. But that's in the future.
I would like to thank everyone who has helped me on this - it was weird idea, and I still think I proved wrong all the people who said it was a dumb idea that would never see the light of day :P
Sigh.
Anyhow,
