To get any previous issue of Raygun, simply peruse this thread, they are all posted here first.



http://raygunrevival.com/Forum/viewtopi ... =1080#1080

The first issue of Ray Gun Revival is in production and will be released sometime today. We will spam all the usual sources once the mothership has landed.

As I've told our support staff, our goal here is nothing less than the complete reinvigoration of space opera, and that process starts today!

Stay tuned!

After six months of imagination and coordination, and countless wrong
turns and dead-ends, and travails and turmoil in great abundance, and
space monkeys and giant eels and rocks in my shoe, Ray Gun Revival, the
magazine of space opera and golden age sci-fi, has finally gone live.
As Lee S. King says:

Quote:
The Mothership has landed!
Yes, finally, it has arrived. The first issue of Ray Gun Revival is
available!
Read exciting stories from around the galaxy!
Heart-stopping escapades!
Zapping ray guns!
And yes, even space monkeys!

Tune in today -- but make sure your space suit has a full oxygen supply
to handle the breathless adventure!

As you may know, we have launched Ray Gun Revival, a free online e-zine devoted to space opera and golden age sci-fi. We publish fresh, original content every two weeks, on the 1st and the 15th. More on that in a moment.

We have some cool stuff this issue, including "Galaxy Store", by Scott Sandridge, "Rest Area", by Tim Baer, "The Assassin of Patience Bay, Part One", by moi, a new featured artist, Erika Green, aka archaenon, and Memory Wipe Chapter One, "The Silver Sun", by Sean T. M. Stiennon (which features original art by E. J. Mikels, II (aka Hisart). All that great space opera for the low-low price of absolutely nothing! (Of course, if you like the idea of paying the authors better, feel free to drop us a donation or here: http://www.doubleedgedpublishing.com/support.html 100% of donated funds go back to the authors. We currently pay $10 per story, and would love to get that up to premium rates to attract premium talent and premium stories. Thanks in advance!)

The issue also features an announcement for next week about a brand new feature, alternating Ray Gun Revival podcasts in between the weeks when we publish the printed mag. Therefore, we publish the e-zine on the 1st and 15th and the Ray Gun Revival podcast on the alternating dates. Taylor Kent is heading this up, and it looks like it will be a lot of fun. Check out the Jolly RGR column on the last page for more specifics. We also have a surprise announcer in store, but I'll save that surprise for next time.
