ISSUE 13


Editor's Note:

The more i write editor's notes, the less i actually have to say about the creation of the particular issue. I don't know why. It just happens this way. There is nothing particularly interesting in putting together another issue of an online magazine. You just gather a lot of stuff, sort it out, put in some kind of sequence and then post. Why I'm telling you this - because i'm honest with you.

This issue was a long time coming mostly due to the fact that I wanted to make an issue "just like back then" but in the same time "make it new" and "make difference". Because of that i was announcing and announcing calls for submissions over and over again and it didn't really worked out.

If previously i was dealing with too many trash submissions - now i just wasn't interested in the majority of the stuff sent. Not that it was bad, it was just passable. And the thing with passable stuff is that it makes you don't care - passable stuff is toxic. And i can't give the platform for that kind of stuff.

Anyway, this issue is good. Really good. And you need to experience it for yourself.
