I enjoy all the Chimeraworld books and I am also a Bizarro/Ero-Guro writer. I hope to share some of my work with you one day.

[MikePhilbin]

well, I'm taking submissions for Chimeraworld 6 (new world disorder) - let's see whatcha got?

Yay! My husband, Chris Reed, is in that Issue 5 -- so damn cool. Chris, if you are reading this, CONGRATS. I am proud of you.

[MikePhilbin]

Chris's stories are always a good read.

it's like waking a baby up from a really nice milk-drinking dream ... except the milk is rancid and it's all about making sure the baby never cries (in outrage or denial)

Oh yeah, I heard that. Funny thing is, I hear from self-described atheist all the time about how much better the world would be without religion, but it seems they have a difficult time envisioning what such a world would even be like. Otherwise, you would have gotten plenty of on-topic submissions. We've become inseparable from the idea of God, we can't possibly tear their minds away from it, no matter how hard we try.

Dear Maso~

there were some good stories for the original CW5 (there are no Gods) but they were 'mostly' off topic. Like the writers didn't wanna even go near the subject. Wusses.

:)

[Masochisticsyndrome]

Congrats. I'm still saddened that the original theme for Chimera 5 didn't work out "there is no God you're all alone, fuckers." That was a good idea for an atho.

Maybe it's true then that atheist are, in general, uncreative people - maybe that's why you didn't get enough quality submissions in for that one. I'm not even sure who said that - about atheist - perhaps I just made that one up.

But the rejects was another good idea. Those people deserve to have their stories heard! Bravo!

Hard copies always produce a bit of euphoria for writers. I recognize Mike Philbin's giddiness at seeing the final product.

It's what I think Dickens was really thinking of when he penned, "Please, Sir, may I have some more?"
