aamcnamaraI keep forgetting to post about this!
The March issue of Ideomancer is up--well, has been for a few days at this point. "Spring is springing – slowly – into our back yards and back closets and the backs of our brains alike. So in honour of the best new-old thing that happens all year, our March 2011 issue has three stories full of slanted spring sunlight; stories light enough to float; stories about beginnings." We also have a featured poet.
Though I tend to love everything we publish, usually the first time I read it is when I'm helping to proofread the new issue. This time, though, two of the stories ("Apology for Fish-Dude" and "Ascension") are pieces that came to me through the slush pile and which I passed up to Leah, so of course I think they're particularly awesome.
(Also, if I am allowed to veer personal for a moment, these are the first stories that I've passed up that have been bought by Ideomancer; if you have not been a slush reader, you might not know how awesome it is when you find a story that's as neat as these two are and how satisfying it is to see something you picked up and said "Hey, this is cool" about get published. I now know these things, and lo, they rock.)
