Welcome to another issue of THE FIFTH DI... There are a few new names in this issue, as well as some of our regulars.
The last month has been quite crazy for me, so hopefully there won't be too many typos in this issue. As many of you know, I got married on May 21st, which was followed by a very brief honeymoon. Rebecca and I would once again like to thank everyone who donated to our honeymoon cause. We really appreciate all you did for us, and believe me, we had a really good time!
We really need quality submissions for this zine. As a little bit of advice, SF always has the best chance. We do publish quite a bit of fantasy, but it can be a harder sell, and epic fantasy is even harder. Most importantly, we DO NOT publish horror...so please don't send it...We'll just reject it.
