Albedo and other anthropomorphics From: sfellows@csm9a.UUCP (5 CR) Date: Wed, 28 Mar 1990 18:18:07 +0000 First off , I have been recieving about one or two letters a day about the Albedo game and comic. Last Friday (on the 16 March), we had a head crash on the system disk for the machine I use to recieve my mail and get Usenet news. The mailer came up about a few days ago, and Usenet news came up today, 26 March. It was a very serious problem, and new parts had to be ordered, which is why it took so long. I did not lose the name list or any of my files, but I know a few people out there were either expecting replies from messages or just expected to reach me. Please send your mail again. Status of some of the things going on in the Anthropomorphic World. Steve Gallacci sais he will be getting back to doing more stuff with Erma Felna, which is good. Albedo Anthropomorphics might just become a production of MUpress. Huzzah! the Albedo fanzine, might be expanding to cover other stuff. The first new Erma Felna stuff will appear in Huzzah!. Subscriptions cost 1.50 (Amercian dollars) per regular issue. Or you can pay 4.00 per issue which covers the expensive cost of a full color centerfold piece. The last one, was by Dan Flahive, of a scene in upcoming Spacewolf installments. It was really good. The address for subscriptions are Huzzah! c/o Dwight Dutton, 6700 Warner Avenue #5G, Huntington Beach, CA 92647-5130. Right now it is a quarterly, and #5 should be coming out soon. Please include in your letter that you heard about it here from me and make checks payable to Dwight Dutton. Foreign subscribers, add approximately 1.50 for overseas mail. If you are a foreign subscriber I suggest you order one issue, to see what the mailing cost will be. Speaking of Spacewolf, I believe Albedo #15 will be out for the San Diego Comics Con. A new anthropomorphic magazine is being produced. It is called Yarf! and is coming out about 8 time a year. Currently it is 45 pages long, bound in either square bound or spiral (your choice!, I suggest square), and contains art and fiction related to anthropomorphics. It will also contain reviews, editorials , and news related to the anthropomorphic field of fiction (comics, boks, rpgs ,etc). The production is very good, and I recommend this for anyone who likes anthropomorphics. They have high production values and intend to publsih mainstream material ( neither "kiddie " or pornographic). Subscriptions are for 8 issues and cost 24 dollars. You can get a single issue by sending 3 dollars, and remember to ask for square or spiral bound. A "Preview" issue exists, which is 6 pages long, and is free. You can purchase single issues at the cost of 3 dollars per (All money in American dollars). Postage within the United States is included, overseas subscribers must add the extra amount (once again I suggest overseas people order one issue, and add extra money [approx. $3.00] to determine the mailing rate). When you order specify whether you want issue #1, #2, or in 2 weeks #3 as the first issue of your subscription. They will gratefully accept submissions. The address is: Yarf! PO Box 1200, Cupertino, CA 95014-1200. Make checks payable to Yarf!. The next issue will be #3 and is coming out very , very soon, so you will want to get your order in quickly. Also, please mention in your letter that you heard about it here from me. Finally, we are still working on a mailing list, so please , if you are interested send me an email letter. Also, the BBS that covers Albedo is called the Rowrbrazzle BBS (you will have to connect to it to find out why). I am still making the numbers available to anyone who is interested. You must email me to get the number. Some of the subboards on it are titled: Albedo, Usagi Yojimbo, SpaceWolf, Storyboards, Albedo RPG, Anthropomorphics, and much more. The board has 2 phone lines, and to give an example of the amount of traffic, in the last 6 weeks there have been approximately 1100 posts (and this is not from any FidoNet feeds!). Well, have fun. Steven B. Fellows sfellows@csm9a.colorado.edu. Disclaimer: I am not receiving any benefit by telling everybody about the Huzzah! fanzine and Yarf! magazine, other than hopefully seeing two good pieces of work succeed. I was introduced to them via the Rowrbrazzle BBS. I have no connection to them other than intending to be an occasional contributor and that I have been steadily communicating with members of their staff via the Rowrbrazzle BBS. I am putting my money where my mouth is , for I have subscriptions to both of them. Referenced By Up
