Shortlistings & Stuff

So I just received news that the Something Wicked presents... podcast has been short-listed for Best SA Independent Podcast for 2007. That is pretty cool, no?

So what can you do it about it?
Click on the Vote For Me Button on the right or you can hop on over to http://2007.sablogawards.com/ and vote for us.
Just scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and look for our podcast, make sure the radio button is ticked, and submit.

In other news the final bits and bobs of content is still coming in for Issue 3 and we've broken all records with the submissions for Issue 4 - with 23 short stories received so far. Man, we have a lot of reading ahead of us!
But first we have to finish Issue 3 - Autumn 2007.
I guess it's only fair to let you all know that there is a bit of a delay with Issue 3, due to finances. We will publish it, but we may come in a little late - eek, not to worry, somehow we will pull it off, promise.

We have applied for funding from the NAC and hopefully will hear from them soon.
Trust me when I say this is as frustrating for you, the readers, as it is for us, Issue 3 is an awesome issue. We have a ton of brilliant, brilliant stories, including the first slightly sci-fi flavoured tales.
Awesome art, as usual, plus, interviews with Stephen King, an autographed copy of Lisey's Story and 3 copies of the brand new Illustrated Salem's Lot.
We're also trying to wangle some copies of Marvel's new Gunslinger: Born comic book.
It really is the best issue ever.
So keep holding thumbs and we'll get through this rough spot, promise.

Thanks again for all the support.
