Just wondering if its doing well. I have really enjoyed it, so I hope there contnues to be enough readers to keep it going.
And on a more selfish note, I did one of the illstrations for the last issue and am hoping to add to the website again. If any of you hatrakers haven't checked it out yet go do so now.

Look up at the top of your screen. [Smile] There's a lovely black and white logo with the answer to your question.

Thank you

The next time someone throws around an obscure acronym, I'll be sure to look at all of the graphics in front of my face before I ask such a stupid question :-D

I didn't think it was dumb question. I thought it might be helpful to know that you have resources, though, so I was pointing out one of them. [Smile]

Well, I went and read the original post.

So you have been reading it and in fact, if I'm reading you right, contributed to it?

So... I'm wondering what you're wondering.

I'm still waiting to see Pretty Boy. I know OSC is incredibly busy, but I yam what I yam. I can't help what I want.

All of the rest of it is great, I'm really enjoying most of the short stories he's got on there. I'm working on a story to submit, but I'm not terribly optimistic.

By the by, which art is yours jer1m1ah?

I read "how's it going?" as whether IGMS has enough readers to make it profitable and keep it going.

Maybe OSC will post his personal financial records here on hatrack, too.

What the duece!? I just read Adrift, the latest addition to IGMS, and was very suprised at the ending.

!!SPOILERS!!

I love the story. The idea of the psyship and the implications that it would have on an individual's mental health and on their relationship with their community is really fascinating.

But the ending caught me completely off gaurd. The relationship between Dee and Anne was kind of settled, but just barerly. Wasn't Dee still addicted to the psyship? Was the implication that he had gotten over it and was going to get back with Anne, or that she had gotten over her hangups with being in love with a space ship? Or that they had both gotten over their individual hangups and were willing to work with it?

Ok, it was probably the last one. I get that. But the story built everything up so well. The idea was pretty fully developed and then it didn't seem to go anywhere. I suppose I'm just a little disappointed that the alien-encounter/death-of-thomas story line didn't play out.

But it was an excellent story. I mean no disrespect to the author. In fact, I mean a whole lot of respect. Good story. If it were ever developed into a novel/la, I would defenitely buy and read it.
