Issue 14, December 1997
Editor's Desk

I goofed last issue - Bruce Dixon's "The AWAKE" is not Gravity's first sci-fi story. Chris Gillen had that high honor quite a few issues back. Moral of the story? Read your own backissues once in a while.

Further notes on running an e-zine monthly...

Get a design assistant. Looking through the backissues reminded me how crappy Gravity used to look. It worked, but...

Clone yourself. Deep inside me there's a tyrant who expresses himself through making decisions about the 'zine, so I couldn't pawn off the job on someone else even if I could find someone else. Still, I got a lot of submissions this time...and I love it! Gimme!

For issue 14 we welcome Perry Sams, Jim Standish, Joe Kenny, Julie Schillinger and Alex Pilling for the first time. Chuck deVarennes, Scott Ross and Ben Ohmart return to the fold after absences, and we finish Mr. Dixon's story. And, finally, the gentlemen I've come to think of as the Four Horsemen of Gravity - Messrs. Bear, Thompson, Heinrich and Burns - weigh in.

I'm planning a double (January-February) issue for 15, to get a little breathing room and clean up around Rancho Gravity. Submissions will be read until January 1, 1998.

Peace,
