corporations, the fascists.

Even better -- there are no experts. What experts there are were wrong. No
one really knows anything, no one can define it, no one can predict where
it's going. Just like any good SF story, it is all possibility.

We just love monsters, don't we?

Join Blackwood and me this Sunday night at 10:30 ET in the Writers Workshop
for a discussion of this lovely monster, the Internet. What better topic for
horror writers than a really cool monster?
================
NEWS & NETWORKING

White Wolf  has reduced it's staff by 18% citing " a brief period of
overhiring." The cuts come in gaming and fulfillment departments. In a press
release, WW asserts it is "still financially viable and healthy (albeit a
little older and wiser.)" The schedule of releases for the Game Studio and
publishing divisions remain the same according to the release.

LOCUS, however, reports that WW was originally planning to publish five books
per month later this year and will cut that to four, possibly fewer some
months.

WW had already announced a more selective approach to buying titles.

As reported earlier, Wizards of the Coast has dropped it's publishing program
entirely, firing 30 people. GDW (originally Game Designers Workshop) has
announced it's closing.

In the comics industry Marvel has laid off 275 people in its gaming, comics
and trading cards divisions and reportedly folded its Malibu Comics line. DC
Comics has also cut titles.
--------
GEnie, long on the market, has announced a new pricing structure that's too
complicated to quote. As far as I can tell it looks like current  Genie users
get 9 hours a month for $18.95, new users pay $23.95 for this basic service.
Unlimited access to the Internet increases the rate to $29.95 and then GEnie
costs another $2.75 an hour. . . I'm confused, but it looks like it sucks.

AOL, Compuserve and Prodigy remain $9.95 a month for 5 hours with additional
hours at $2.95. For a comparison of all national ISPs check

Clive Barker's new hardcover, SACRAMENT, will be out in July. According to
Publisher's Weekly, it "broadens Barker's appeal with a mainstream story of
human drama laced with his unique vision of the fate of our planet." Clive
Barker's "official" website is Web Of Lost Souls, check
http://www.barkerverse. com/ for updates.
-----------
WICKED MYSTIC #25 will be out about March 1. A delay was encountered because
the contracted printer refused to print it because of content. All right!
Seems WM ain't broadening it's appeal to the mainstream. Wicked Mystic is now

availability and extreme stuff or email WickedMyst@aol.com to order a copy.

THE DUSK TIL DAWN DEBATE

Michele Patterson (MicheleCP) learned last week what it's like to assert an
opinion to you darklings. I wasn't privy to all her correspondence, but
suffice to say many wrote her with differing viewpoints of the Tarantino
flick. This one was sent to me and I have permission to share it with you:

From Rickenharp (John Shirley):
I think you missed the point in From Dusk till Dawn - it's a comic book, not
a vampire movie; it's S Clay Wilson; it's supposed to be absurd; personally I
thought the first hour was cool and hilarious. And the second hour was
ridiculous and hilarious. For me it was a great laugh-aloud comedy.  It had
its scary vampiric moments and I guess they were deceptive in the advertising
but it was clear from the start of viewing that one shouldn't expect the
usual material. It was just a wild, lunatic ride signifying nothing but cool
to see like a good tattoo.

=====================
NET CENSORSHIP

As predicted last issue, Congress approved sweeping restrictions on online
speech and conduct, imposing fines of $250,000 and jail sentences of 2 years
for anyone who makes "indecent" material available in a public forum online.

An international protest is now planned for 48 hours after the president
signs the bill sometime this week. To know when the bill is signed, check
these sources, or watch CNN:
        Newsgroups: alt.society.civil-disob
        Email:vtw-announce@vtw.org (watch for mail on this list)
        WWW:http://www.vtw.org/
        Finger:vtw@panix.com

1) To join the protest TURN YOUR WORLD WIDE WEB PAGES BLACK with white
lettering to demonstrate that the Internet will not accept this kind of
second class treatment from the United States Government.

To turn your pages black with white lettering, simply add the following tag
to your World Wide Web pages: (put these all in <>'s)
