Editorial
his issue is so packed with fiction that there's virtually no
space left for the editorial, so I will be, as they say, "mercifully
brief". Although as DargonZine's Editor, I really don't see why a short
editorial should be termed "merciful" ... But allow me to move on to the
content; I have just two things to talk about.
First, I'd like to extend a personal welcome to all our new
subscribers. Since the last issue went out, nearly three dozen new
readers have subscribed to the zine. Part of that influx is attributable
to an article, written by Emily Alward and distributed by TipWorld,
which featured DargonZine. In the two days after that article went out
we received more than a dozen new subscription requests, and two new
writers had contacted us about joining the group! Welcome aboard, and I
hope you enjoy our stories and that DargonZine meets your expectations.
Oddly, this is a bit of an awkward issue for us to welcome new
readers with, because it contains the concluding chapters of three
ongoing storylines: JD Kenyon's two-part "A Tale of Two Thieves", Nick
Wansbutter's three-part "A Matter of Honour", and Dafydd's four-part
"Talisman Three", which in itself is part of an immense (and ongoing)
story arc that goes back another sixteen chapters and may continue
equally far into the future! I'd encourage our new readers to go back
and read these stories in their entirety; they're well worth the effort!
Unfortunately (or perhaps "mercifully"), due to space limitations
that's about all I can say for now, but you can be sure I'll have plenty
of news and opinions to share when DargonZine 13-5 is distributed next
month! Until then, enjoy the stories, and help us spread the word!
