Anotherealm
Description
Note: may not respond in the case of rejection.
Note: payment only issued by check drawn on a US bank.
Anotherealm.com was started late in 1995 by two insane people. Jean Goldstrom and Webbie. They both had this notion that running a "Speculative Fiction Zine" on the internet would be an easy thing. After all, Jean was a retired newspaper editor. Webbie had said of web page design "How tough could it be"? What could be easier for a dynamic duo such as us?
So it came to pass that with no clue, and no experience either. They set out to have the "Best Damn Zine on the Net"!
At that time there was little in the way of standards. There was no right or wrong way to do zines. So we thought we could do whatever we wanted to. What we wanted was a place where new writers could be published. A place where they could be seen. A place to get constructive comments about how to write better stories. We were inspired by a dial up BBS "Up in James Attic" who had done just that for local users.
So we started with a basic design on a personal home page. It quickly became obvious that this approach was really lame. The right way to do it was to get a "real" domain name. In 1997 we did just that and moved our fledgling zine to a commercial server.
