“The Art Disease” by Dennis Danvers

Derek and Emily had the art disease, the both of them. Everyone they knew had it too. That’s one of the symptoms: Colonies, clusters, movements, splinter groups, manifestos. Clumping, the experts call it. She had a master’s in design and decorated cakes at Food One, not the one on Seventeenth but the one near the …

Remembering the Future, Winter 2011 editorial

In November of 2001, I went to the annual SFWA writers and editors meet-up in New York City. We were a scant two months removed from the tragedy of 9/11, and its enormity cast a shadow over the normally over-joyous celebration. I was no longer working in the city when the two towers collapsed, but …

Website Problems

We accidentally deleted our Word Press database the other day, and of course we had no reliable backup. We’ve been restoring pages and posts (for example, don’t forget we’re running a sale!) and we’ll be ready to post our new issue online starting on Monday! We’ll get a schedule up shortly, but we figured we …

Fiction Flashback — Aliette de Bodard

July 12, 2011 This story dates from the first time I ever proofread Electric Velocipede. Weirdly enough, when I first saw “The Dragon’s Tears” in my queue, I chose to proofread it last. (I skip around when I’m doing short fiction.)  I didn’t know then what possessed me; prescience, maybe.  When I began reading the …

Fiction Flashback – Jeffrey Ford

I’d been pushing Jeff to write a story for Electric Velocipede for some time. I was a huge fan of his Well-Built City trilogy, and enjoyed his short fiction even more. Getting a story from Jeffrey Ford would be a huge personal accomplishment. We had a series of flash fiction I was going to publish, …

Fiction Flashback – Jay Caselberg

by dwgrintalis August 8, 2011 The first time I read this story, I was disturbed beyond belief. Why then would I pick it for one of our fiction flashback features? For the very same reason. You are warned. It is a difficult story to read, but I think it drives home a very sobering truth. …

Fiction Flashback – Neil Williamson

August 1, 2011 Do you remember that Earthsea story by Ursula K. LeGuin?  “The Rule of Names” has always stuck with me; if I hadn’t known the importance of naming and names by then, then it would have cemented that belief.  (Heck, I went through a phase of saying only “ ’Morning”! after that.)  And, well, …

Fiction Flashback – Erin Hoffman

June 20, 2011 I fell in love with this story when I copy-edited it.  When asked why, I had to think hard; it was a little like explaining why dark chocolate is my favorite, really—because it suits my taste. Although perhaps the key word there is dark… “Darkest Amber” reminds me of Roger Zelazny’s style, …
