- Editor's Intro -
Howdy, and welcome to another issue of the Unholy Biscuit. I am legally obliged to point out that animals were actually harmed during the making of this e-zine, but it was only Paris Hilton's dog, so that's alright. Kind of like a mercy killing.
In this issue we've got lots and lots of flash fiction. Which is good. I think it is, at least. You might not. If you don't, go read Time Traveller's Wife instead - it's one of the only books Richard & Judy have recommended that has any worth whatsoever and the ending will make you cry like a little girl.
If you do like flash, then that's smashing. Stick around.
I'm thinking about publishing an anthology of all the best stuff that's gone into the biscuit in the past year. The .pdf will be free, as always, but I was thinking it'd be nice to have an actual printed volume so's that we can all celebrate the achievements and hard work of the artists and writers that have helped make the Unholy Biscuit a kick ass e-zine. It's still in the planning room at the moment, and I may put it off until later, but if everything goes as planned I'll put up more information on the front page. If you've contributed stuff in the past, you may well get an e-mail from me shortly. If you have any particular favourites from past issues that you'd like to try and cajole me into including in the anthology, do e-mail me (same goes for any feedback that you may want to pass on to featured writers).
The underground literary scene is stronger now than it ever has been, and it's certainly an exciting scene with which to be involved (if only in a tiny way). There are so many hard working people out there that if I was to acknowledge them all, this intro would be longer than the main content of the zine. With that in mind, I'll close by saying cheers to all the usual affiliates (you know who you are) and, perhaps more importantly, cheers to whichever one of my three readers you are.
Hope you enjoy the issue, and keep fighting the good fight.
