Everyday Weirdness languished then suffered a brief return from the dead in September 2010, before finally becoming inactive again in December 2010. What finally killed it, like Thaumatrope, was time and money.
In retrospect, again like Thaumatrope, I should have pulled the plug, tied up loose ends, and made changes to the website to reflect the fact long before now.
Like Thaumatrope, Everyday Weirdness may return in the future—my core focus at the moment, after paying outstanding debts, is to relaunch Space Westerns. Any other fiction market will have to wait until I’ve accomplished that.
I’m really sorry to hear about the end of your ‘zines. Thaumatrope always made me grin with its cleverness and 140-character poignancy.
That said… I was a huge fan of Space Westerns, and nothing could make me happier than seeing it return. There’s a few other venues out there where you might read something similar, but there’s really no other place that’s, well… Space Westerns. If you relaunch it, know that you will have at least one extremely dedicated reader!
Whatever the case may be, I hope we see some new ‘zines from you soon!
Will miss ‘trope and Everyday Weirdness. Hope to see Space Westerns up and running soon. As an author/writer it was gratifying being published at both Thaumatrope and Everyday Weirdness.
I have a few ideas that are looking for a landing site.
Best of Luck,
