December 23, 1999:

The Winter issue is here, and we're proud to present a fine selection of new material.

David Randall brings us a heroine who knows what she wants, and is determined to get it, in the fantasy story Jenny the Sew and the Elf Prince.

Stephen Crane Davidson's Kalry dreams of The Dance.

In Bringing Home the Bacon, Stephen D. Rogers takes a look at the three little pigs before the infamous huffing and puffing incident.

Gene-Michael Higney's Snow Blight and the Seven Dorks; A Dysfunctional Fairy Tale is a penetrating examination of modern society and sexual mores, as well as a cautionary tale as powerful as Upton Sinclair's The Jungle.... Well, at least the title part is true.

Stephanie Dyrkacz Weidner shows how strange programmers can be, in the fantasy The Misfit Corner.

A series of tales from G. W. Thomas--Box of Ages, Perchance to Sleep, The Prophecy, Sticks, Time Out, and The Torch--introduce us to the Rainbow Man, a powerful, odd and imperfect wizard.

Daniel A. Olivas's quiet hero faces the dangerous temptation of The Horned Toad.

Bent Lorentzen brings us a tale of a young man who must come to grips with his heritage and his potential when he wears The Hero's Mask.

In the Crown & Thistle Inn, we have a rags-to-riches tale about a girl, a fish and The Golden Clog.

To inaugurate the Commentary section, we have a review of Stephen Crane Davidson's novel Far From the Warring Lands.

So sit back in a comfortable chair, bask in the glow of a roaring fire (or at least your computer screen), and enjoy.
