EDITOR'S NOTE
(please do not read the following)
Hello, microfriends and megafriends! This is The BMC, your pal and editor
of The Neo-Comintern, here to welcome you back to the most wonderful,
super-subversive socialist satire publication this side of Moonbase Luna.
With a bit of love, tenderness, and ass-kicking, all of our most beloved
writers have gotten together, resealed pacts of old, and organized to
unleash many more of the kind of articles and fiction that you can only
find within these hallowed files of text.
Some wonder where the N has been for the past THREE MONTHS. On the other
side of the Styx, my friend. The Neo-Comintern has wandered into the dark
world, seen what it has to offer, set it on fire with some serious pyro,
and then flown out in V formation. Once upon a time, around issue 207,
The Neo-Comintern needed a new editor to hold the bag, erh, lead the
magazine into a new glorious era. Brave writers stepped to the forefront,
threw down the gauntlet, pledged allegiance, and promised to struggle
valiantly to improve writing standards, expand territory, and write K-rad
editor's notes. With such a variety of competent and passionate geniuses
to choose from, there was only one way that anything could possibly go
wrong.
A monkey wrench in the cogs. Or, as fate did have it, a Cog in the monkey
wrench (monkey wrench here being a metaphor for editorship of The
Neo-Comintern Online Magazine). Things seemed to be going quite well at
first, as The High Cog had no shortage of high-quality articles to choose
from. In fact, issues 209-211 all have a whopping THREE articles in
them. That's a record. In celebration, Cog killed the zine.
When I got back from summer vacation in the village of Gotham, I found
that Cog had pulled the plug. I had planned on taking the editorship over
again when I got home, but now I found that there was no zine to come back
to. Furthermore, in an act of brutal betrayal, Cog had changed the name
of The Neo-Comintern to The Neo-COGmintern. So what was I to do?
After three months of careful plotting and meditation, I decided to bring
the Neo-Comintern back from its early grave and release issue 212. And so
we begin the greatest era ever witnessed in the history of literature.
The submissions for future issues are, at this point, the best that we
have ever received. Look out for hot hot hot hits from your favourite
writers, and perhaps even a few surprises from the wonderful writing
community of Textus, Internetia.
This is probably our best issue yet, for the simple fact that all of the
writers have gotten together to reveal a bit about themselves and
entertain your sweet souls at the same time. This is an interview issue.
I would like you to try this. Read this issue, read up on your favourite
writers, get to know them, love them if you must, hate them if you wish.
Harness the power of 100 dreams. Build the skyrocket. Let's make some
friends. Let's be trapped in an apartment. Let's get straight As. This
is The Neo-Comintern. This is solid gold in ASCII format. This is
something special, something to share, something to keep in a small box in
a secret place.
And this night, my friends, is one extremely hallowed evening.
Olympia!
