FutureTense

I always wanted FutureTense to be a community, modeled after the seminal cyberpunk samizdat newsletter “Cheap Truth”

I already know what I think about the current state of the Empire–I want to know what other people think. From time to time I wonder if what I say is too strident, that some of you who might be otherwise willing to engage are worried about how editors might respond. Or I’m boring or I’m just so terrifyingly right that no one can find anything else to say.

I try not to be boring.

Worrying about the splatter affect has cramped me for the last six months or so. Not that I contirbuted extensively over at Futurismic but it dampened my desire to say anything that might cast a shadow over the fine writers associated with that project and their hopes for careers in the field.

I plan to move to a single person bully pulpit some time in the next month and we’ll see what kind of trouble my loud mouth can get me into.

Best regards,

Alan
