Hey All

Just got an email from the webmaster for AtFantasy. Looks like Sword's Edge time is running out. The website for my d20 publishing company is now history, and I was basically running SE in order to keep the SEP site up. I'm looking for a host for the Sword's Edge Publishing website, and if I find one, I'll be finishing off the issues planned for Sword's Edge there, but I can't see the e-zine living any longer than issue 23.

It's been a good run, but I'm afraid it is no longer high on my list of priorities. I have a debt to the authors who have contributed their work, so all the planned issues will come out, but Sword's Edge will no longer be accepting submissions. I'll be updating the site with that information as soon as I can.

Ah well. It was fun while it lasted.

Sorry to hear this news, Fraser. Best of luck to you with your other projects. I enjoyed SE and am grateful to you for all of your hard work in putting the ezine together and keeping it going for as long as you did.

That's a terrible shame. Just when I thought things were looking on the up. Glad to see you're commited to making SE go out with a bang, instead of a wimper. Best wishes for the future.

Fraser: Sorry to see Sword's Edge go. You put as much heart into it as any of the authors whose work you've shared with us, and for that I say many thanks.

I'm also glad to have one of my Spider John stories slated to run in Sword's Edge, issue 22 if I remember correctly. I came late to the party, but I'll always be glad to say that I had some small part in your fine e-zine. Thanks.

Fraser,

If you want to keep Sword's Edge going, shoot me a PM or email -- perhaps I can help with a hosting solution. If you are going to just move on to other things, I have another idea.... [;)]

Fraser:

Sorry to hear the news! I think for many of us it's been hard to find places for short S&S and adventure fiction, so the loss of a venue like yours really hurts. Sword's Edge will be missed...

I was honored to be featured in SE. Will miss your magazine. I read some stories, and it was a worthy effort in my opinion.

Thank you for everything and take care.

Hope fuels everything.

Hey All

I think we are going to be okay. I got a host for my d20 games publishing company, Sword's Edge Publishing, and I'm including swordsedge.ca with it. We're having some server issues right now, but once that's settled down, you can expect issues 21 to 23 to appear at swordsedge.ca.

We'll see how things work out.

Take care all
