   
Hello and welcome to the February 2025 issue of Aphelion!
First of all, I have been sick for most of the
past two months. This Winter's flu has been really rough. It just won't
go away!
This
issue is going to be a few hours late. And the IndieCD.org version
won't go up until Monday night, at the earliest, because it's more work
than just doing Aphelion over here. A lot of links have to be shortened
so that they work over there. There are things over here and over there
that I just don't have time to fully update if I'm to hit anywhere near
the 1st Sunday deadline here.
We didn't snag as many P&E Awards as we did for the year
previous, but we did pretty good: #4 in the Top Ten Ezine Cover Art,
tied for #5 Top Ten Editors, #5 in the Top Ten Fiction Zines, and tied
for #5 in the Top Ten Poetry Zines. Not too shabby! I've updated
the awards graphics in time for the March issue.
As for everything else, I'll be getting to that as my health improves.
The online streaming shows "Stupid
O'clock" and "Last Man Standing" have been uploaded live to YouTube as
well as several Facebook pages for over two years now. They are
basically live-streaming chat shows covering a range of topics, modeled
on the types of conversations people have after hours at SF&F
conventions. Joe McKeel and I have archives of past shows on our own
YouTube channels. Check 'em out if that sounds like something you'd
enjoy I've put links in our Features section that will take you to the
YouTube archives of both shows.
With all that said, it's high time I
shut up and let you get to reading.
Enjoy
yourselves,
Dan
