Vector Has Landed

[coalescent]

Waiting for me when I got home this evening:



Vector 245: Movements and Manifestos
Frequently Asked Questions about Mundane SF by Trent Walters
A Refusal To Sign the Mundane Manifesto by Ian McDonald
No More New World Orders by Martin Lewis
Not Really New, Not Really Weird by Norman Spinrad
Infernokrusher: A Brief and Terrible History by Meghan McCarron
Archipelago: Appreciations from the ED SF Project, by Claire Light, Abigail Nussbaum, Paul Kincaid and Elizabeth Bear
First Impressions: Book Reviews edited by Paul Billinger
and The New X: a column by Graham Sleight

Yes, it's the first issue of Vector to be co-edited by greengolux and myself, complete with first-issue typos. Given that we've been editors-in-waiting for about a year, this is quite exciting, and we're proud of the lineup--many thanks to everyone who contributed. Although obviously, future issues are going to be even better.

A proper website, with some online content and everything, will be along Real Soon Now. In the meantime, Vector is available to BSFA members (along with some other magazines), so you know it only makes sense to join. Contributers can expect to be hassled for their real-world addresses so that we can send them copies.

In summary: huzzah!

Congrats: from what I see, you've taken the best of what made Science Fiction Eye fun and removed its "The Last Dangerous Magazine" publishing schedule. High kudos to you.

Nostalgia attack: SF Eye pretty much formed my idea of what conversation about SF should be like.

I know: I miss what Science Fiction Eye could have been, but I don't miss quitting it when I had the chance. Of course, considering the congenital idiot who wrote the "Scleral Rings" palaeontology column, the magazine was already pretty much dead by 1991 anyway.

Oh, he had his moments, don't you think?

Sure, if you like watching someone vomit upon themselves over and over again.
