Three Days Only!
Issue 47 of the Chiaroscuro, the "Megazine Issue" is now in its last three days. All of the fantastic authors and poets who contributed their work to help keep ChiZine afloat after suddenly losing its sponsorship will have those works disappear from the web site on July 1, so read them while you can!

Comments
It's also been a lot of work getting it assembled and doing the database hocus-pokery, so I can't say I'm sorry to see this once-a-week schedule come to an end.
Now, hopefully, I'll have some time to fix the bits that are
broken*ahem* less than optimal...
