9:06 lives!

This is to let you all know 9:06 is nearly finished. All of the art is in, and we have some superb stuff, including a cover that will knock your socks off.

I hope to be able to have it finished in the next week or so.

It will a 100+ page A5 fanzine. At the moment due to logistical/financial concerns, I think I will initially be offering it as a downloadable PDF. If the demand is great enough for printed paper copies, I will certainly try to provide for this. Due to the amount of color artwork, however, the price per copy may be steep--it depends on how many copies are reserved in the first place. So, when you see the finished product, you can decide what is preferable to you. Perhaps you would like the fanzine format similar to Shooty Dog Thing, with two PDF documents you print and then flip over to print on the other side!

In the contents, we have scholarly articles by myself and Melissa Beattie, articles by luminaries of The Railway Arms message board, and artwork by distinguished members of the Ashes to Mars group on deviantART. 80sNostalgia.com is represented, and there is even a section for '80s memories. It also boasts an interview with Mason Kayne, who played the Ghost PC in series 3, and the cover is by accomplished artist Dan McDaid.

So watch this space.
