| Upcoming & Current Stuff Happening, Deadlines, etc. Deadline for material for THE BIBLIOFANTASIAC #17... middle of April/'00 ABOUT THE BLOTTER, DRIFT, FOUND IN THE TRASH, EXBIHIT B, FRAGMENT 47 and other past endeavours: (This site, by the way has, much to our surprise, been given the RADICAL NASTASSJA's 5 STAR SEAL OF APPROVAL)... but anyway - When THE BIBLIOFANTASIAC ended at issue no. 10 'way back when, it was replaced by THE BLOTTER, which liked to do theme issues. Ten of these were published. One reason for this was, at the time, Stats Canada noted that the average life span of a small publication in Canada was eight issues. Fido said, "That's pretty crazy - we can do better than that!" DRIFT ended in 1999 at issue number 100; and that's when THE BIBLIOFANTASIAC decided to return, 15 years later, but so what? Number 11 needed to be published, and the Canadian average needed another little push... Well, now we've gone and sent #15 to the printer, and have started to gather material for #16, too. Send a few canadian stamps, an IRC or cash equivalent, and we'll send a copy of the most recent, plus some other odds and ends (if you ask for 'em). We will also publish chapbooks for writers on low incomes, and our prices are very flexible - but please remember: this is NOT a business, and you are at your own risk. NEW: LETTERS FROM SPACE, by C. F. Kennedy, 140 PGS., perfect bound. This is a limited edition, so it isn't offered for sale, per se. However, if you're really determined to own a copy, let us know and tell us what you're willing to part with for it. Make an offer - please remember everything that goes into writing and publishing a book: the actual writing, typesetting, time and all the other stuff; and please remember, postage is always a factor. Thanx ALSO NEW: DESPERATE DREAMERS, C. F. Kennedy, drawings by Malok; 221 pgs., perfect bound. 33 short stories about common, ordinary people caught up in sometimes bizarre ideas. Are thety dreaming, or not? Same idea as above... ANNOUNCING DRIFT AWEIGH BOOKS - - Capers Aweigh and Necessary Drift Press are joining forces and can now do small runs.

Dates and regulations have not changed nor has the entry fee which is still $10 for up to three stories. If you¹ve considered the contest in years past and never worked up the nerve then B&G2K is just the opportunity for which you¹ve been waiting; your chances of winning being twice as good. As the Millenium winds down all manner of demons real and imagined lurk just beyond the realm of current human experience.

Preference will be shown to stories set in Canada though it is certainly not a requirement. Preference will also be shown to previously unpublished works.

The winners will each take home a $100 prize and will have their winning stories published in chapbook form by Bad Moon Books. All entrants will receive a copy of the winning chapbook. The winners¹ chapbook will be launched on Hallowe'en 2000. Stories should be double-spaced & single-sided. Every page should be numbered. The story title (or a portion thereof) should appear at the top of each page.

Our goal is to publish well-written, memorable work whether it is humorous or traumatic. Oh, and keep the four letter words to a minimum. We have published very few of them.
