We dredged up the following
tidbits of information, and are passing it on to you.
From our Space station to your
home.
If your are writer who has had stories
published in
AlienSkin
Magazine®,
or you are someone with something interesting to share with
us that has to something to do with Science Fiction,
Fantasy, or Horror, let us know about it. Email us at
AlienSkin@AlienSkinMag.com, and
we'll consider it for inclusion in our News from the Outer
Rim spots.
~ The BLACK BOX ~
It's Coming MARCH
20th!
~ Interesting Fantasy Car ~
These
two cool cars caught our eye and we just had to share them.
One came to us via an email we received from one of our fans.
And the other was seen by our senior editor
Kay Patterson, when she was
in Orlando last month. Though without her camera at the
time, Kay managed to snag a photo of the
Boston Lobster Feast Car from the web. She
said seeing the car up close, beside you, is truly mind-boggling
because the detail of the design is just so incredible.
We just had to include these neat shots in this
issue so you could enjoy them as well.
The artistry on the
Turtle Car just wows you! But we must admit, it
really does take a large about of courage and lightheartedness
to drive around in something like that.
We can't imagine the smirks the Lobster guys gets
driving the company car around!

Now Features
Micro Fiction ~
Some prefer to call it a Drabble and a Half, but we like the
term of Micro Fiction. It's a short, concise story written
in exactly 150 words. After their successful investigation at Philadelphia's Eastern
State Penitentiary, the
'Most Haunted
Live' team returns to the United States to investigate
the Winchester Mystery House
in San Jose, Calif. on Oct. 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Travel
Channel.
Join head investigator Yvette Fielding,
spiritual medium David Wells,
and the rest of the 'Most Haunted Live' team conduct their 7-hour
investigation. Armed with night-vision cameras,
thermal-imaging devices and other paranormal investigation tools,
the team will perform a thorough investigation of the mansion and
attempt to communicate with the paranormal.

New This Issue:
Guideline Offenders
Hall of Shame ~
Due to the overwhelming number of
Improper Submissions we
receive on a daily basis, we have decided to create a special
section within our magazine to feature the names of those
writers who still believe Not Reading Submission Guidelines
of every market they approach
is no big deal.
It is a big deal. Pro markets just won't
tolerate it. Small press and online markets don't have the
time to keep reminding writers to pay attention to market
changes.
Every writer guilty the transgression will be
given an auto-rejection, telling them they have
submitted incorrectly; but instead of us
explaining which guideline you failed to follow, we'll now
direct you to
our
online Guidelines page. Your name will then get placed
upon our Bad Sub List of Offenders.
Our Zap Room
gunners will be policing our incoming email—So
Be Smart: Get in the Habit of Reading SUBMISSION
GUIDELINES.
Each issue will now feature this Hall of Shame. Will YOUR name
be on our list? We hope not!
