.:ELECTRIC VELOCIPEDE:.

There are new links on the left for editor John Klima's Twitter and Facebook pages. He tends to talk about mostly Electric Velocipede related things there, so if you like the magazine, check them out. There is a new 'art' link that showcases all the covers from past issues, as well as some fun things that we do here. All the indivudal back issue pages now have cover art at the top of their pages as well.

The catalog/shopping section has been updated to remove out of print issues. There's been some confusion about this, so we think it's better to just take them out and let people go to the back issues link and see what we've done in the past.

We're running some ads in the amazing magazine Coilhouse, so hello! to all the new visitors from there! Take a look around! They're doing some amazing stuff at Coilhouse, all sorts of things to make us green with hate and red with jealousy (or is it the other way around?).

We can't thank people enough for the huge response so far. There are still lots of copies of the chapbooks, which means that the two specials we're running are still valid, but people looking for back issues may be out of luck.

So we've created a series of shirts via Zazzle (including the 'Tempest' shirt, so people can get their hands on their own shirt). You can check out the store here. This way, you can still help, and you get a sweet shirt out of the deal.

There are some people who were looking to just donate, and here's a link to do that.

If you don't know what we're talking about, please point your browser this way; we'll wait a moment while you go read (hint: scroll down to Best Fanzine). That's right, Electric Velocipede has been nominated for a Hugo Award! It almost goes without saying that we are extremely excited about this.

First time visitors can click on the 'free fiction' link to you left to get a sense of what the magazine is like. In general, just have some fun going about the site to see what's here. Thanks to everyone who nominated us!

In honor of such a momentous event, we're running a little sale!

A little clarification on what our partnership means. We hold all editorial control of the magazine. We select all the content, edit the content, put this website together, etc. Night Shade Books handles the business side of things. They print the magazine, pay the contributors, distribute the magazine, handle subscriptions, etc. If it helps, John Klima is the editor, Night Shade Books is the publisher.

If you have questions about the content of the magazine, please ask us. If you have questions about purchasing an issue, changing your address, and other things relating to getting your hands on a copy of the magazine, please contact Night Shade Books.

This is a near-perfect situation for both of us. A lot of the time-consuming work and cost has been taken off our shoulders and shifted into the existing Night Shade Books architecture so we can focus on what we've been doing to make a Hugo and World Fantasy Award nominated magazine. Which, is a pretty nice thing for Night Shade Books to add to their stable if you ask us.

Electric Velocipede is closed to submissions until August 1, 2009. You can read the whole story here.
