| Posted 7/1/2008 11:40 AM (GMT -4) | | Well, today is July 1st, and you all know what that means... The Overlords have spared your puny planet for another year, mwahahahaha!
Two years ago today, Ray Gun Revival went live for the first time. You remember that first cover by Sid Chaturvedi, right?
When I first saw it, I knew we had to have it for our inaugural issue, and it reminds me today what I like about this place - a can-do attitude, a colorful but professional volunteer staff, comically posturing Overlords, the occasional trouble making space monkey, and lots and lots of great fiction.
We've grown a bunch in two years, and we have plans as big as the galaxy. In this last year, we have received nearly five million hits, and RGR docs have been viewed over 93k times at Scribd.com. The Overlords send a simple greeting to everyone who reads RGR, who visits the forums, who reads the publication at Scribd.com, who submits new stories for publication; thank you for your continued interest in Ray Gun Revival magazine.
Happy anniversary, my friends.
