Fun stuff this week!!! This post will stay up a couple of days and I’ll do the drawing on Sunday.
Write Snark readers know I just LOVE Apex Digest! Jason and I shared space as writers in a horror magazine a couple of years ago and stayed in touch since. He’s a fantastic editor and this magazine never fails to give me a shiver or two. So if you like your science fiction on the dark side, give them a chance.
I want to keep loving it, so I’m offering my own incentive to sweeten the pot.
If you take out a subscription, comment here and you will be automatically entered to win one of these three prizes. I’ll do a random drawing, pick one winner (two if I’m feeling particularly generous and we have a great turnout!) confirm the purchase with Jason and then you get to pick which snarky item you like best. I’ll ship directly to you. (Clicking on the image pulls it up large for you.)
The Here Kitty Kitty apron which reads “All it takes is time, drive and maybe… a small blood sacrifice.” I find the idea of wearing this while cooking pretty damned amusing myself. <g> Here’s how it looks on. If you’re tall. And a guy.
Or
It Was Just Getting Bloody! dark T. (This comes in several nice, dark colors.) I wore this shirt into the hospital for surgery recently. Cracked up those who got it– I feel sorry for those who didn’t.
Or
Could Be Worse T. I wear this shirt all the time. My favorite place is my son’s school. <g>
Here’s Apex’s Blurb:
Okay, we’re going to come right out and say it. The magazine needs more subscribers. Probably doesn’t come as any shock, as this happens every year.
So we’re going to do an old-fashioned subscription drive.
The reality of the situation is that we need 150 new subscribers (or roughly $3000), or we’re looking at a hiatus until I have enough disposable income to push out another issue. We use the term “hiatus” because there won’t be any mercy killings going on around here. We love the damn magazine too much to let it go (or possibly too stubborn), but the hiatus could be an extended one.
–How can you help?
–By taking out a subscription! Or buying magazines from our store!
Subscriptions are a measly $20 for 4 issues in the US. $24 for Canada/Mexico. $34 for the rest of the world.
