The Zine What I Wrote For

Some of you may remember me mentioning a while back that I was working on a TPM story for a zine (some others may remember this more as "whining incessantly," but are too kind to say so).

I'm delighted to say that the zine is now in print -- and my God, it is a gorgeous thing. This fandom has produced some of the most physically beautiful zines in existence, but I honestly think this one tops them all.

I'm honored to be in it with mrshamill, temve, elayna88, lauramcewan, and several other great TPM writers. The quality of the illustration is just amazing as well -- my story has an exquisite piece of art by nimori and there are illos by most of the best artists active in TPM, past and present.

It's called Songs of Innocence, Songs of Experience, by the killer editing team of gloriana and the_emu, and you can find pictures, excerpts, and ordering info here. It's pricey, but worth it (which I feel comfortable tellng you even though mine was free).

Wait. There aren't *two* directors named Oliver Stone, are there?

Hm. So Oliver Stone gave a talk at Berkeley last week, and according to a couple of different reports from people who attended, he's intending to completely re-edit the movie, mixing up the timeline and significantly shortening the movie by removing some elements he felt were less than successful. Including, of course, some elements for which I have a personal fondness.

We'll have to wait and see how much of that actually pans out, but color me vaguely disgruntled in the meantime.  At least it explains the ridiculous delay in announcing a release date.
