Despite the one month delay, Imaginary Realities volume 5, issue 1, is due to be released in three days on December 13th. You will be able to find it at the following address:
journal.imaginary-realities.comIt will also be downloadable in EPUB and PDF formats, for those with e-reader devices or e-book applications on their fancy modern doodackys.
The other editors and I have decided to delay the release for perhaps a week or two. The articles are looking great, and are all edited and proofread. As this is the first issue, we want to make sure it is done right.
The first issue is looking pretty good. It's almost ready for publication, but there's a slight hitch. We realised that we needed to get the article authors to formally license their articles so we can actually use them. The lack of any real licensing for articles in the original Imaginary Realities issues, has meant that the copyright situation is confused. We need to get this right from the start.
In the best case, all authors will respond and license their articles suitably, and the not too bad looking EPUB e-book will be published on time. As will the okay looking PDF, and the superbly retro-looking web site. In the worst case, we may either have a two or three days delay in publication, or that delay and a few less articles.
If you submitted an article and are reading this, please reply to my email. If you didn't get an email, please email me immediately, or check all the email addresses you've used to contact us.
Thanks!
