Ionospherics 116

Ten years of publication next month. That long! In that time, yes, we've missed some issues, else we'd be at issue 120 rather than 117 for our tenth anniversary. So it's a grand total of three issues missed, probably (for I can't recall the details) after special double issues, or at times that I was away (lazy bugger that I am). Not that it matters. For a regular internet publication, I think we've done well.

By way of celebration next month we'll have another double issue. That's twenty selected pieces of flash fiction for you to enjoy.

There's also change in site design and implementation coming. But in the words of Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "Don't Panic", for we'll still be focusing on what we do best — publishing the best in speculative flash fiction from around the world.

As for the timing of this change, I'd originally scheduled it for the anniversary issue, but I'm not sure that the new CMS-driven site will be ready on time. Unfortunately, while I enjoy producing AntiSF, it is something that I do with a seemingly dwindling amount of spare time.

Despite the above, I'm of the firm belief, barring the takeover of the internet by the awakening of a self-aware electronic nasty, that we'll continue to publish into the foreseeable future.
