Hi there #sffwrtcht

First things first, is St. louis still alive and kicking? #sffwrtcht
We are doing OK. Had a lot of hail and storminess a couple hours ago, but not too much trouble where I am #sffwrtcht
Let’s start with the basics: where did your interest in Science Fiction and Fantasy come from? #sffwrtcht
As long as I can remember reading (which is my whole life) I was drawn to the speculative and weird. First book I could read by myself when I was like 4 was Seuss's "Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now." Later I got into classic stuff like wells and Verne by way of those kid versions. And the it went from there into a whole range of writers as I got older. #sffwrtcht
Who were some of the authors whose work most thrilled and inspired you? #sffwrtcht
When I was in high school I discovered Ellison and other New Wave writers and they are huge influence. Ted Sturgeon, Delany, James Tiptree, many others. Also read tons of Asimov, Heinlein. Then I had spell of loving cyber for while, especially Sterling. #sffwrtcht
@mbranesf Last year saw a great story in Crossed Genres, the debut of Aether Age, the first issue of Fantastique Unfettered..HOW? #sffwrtcht
mbranesf: @montsamu I don't even know! Lots and lots of crazy work! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:08:07 +0000 2011)mbranesf: Both Aether Age and Fantastique Unfettered are things I am really proud of. Not easy, but way worth it #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:09:21 +0000 2011)
BryanThomasS: @mbranesf For those of us who missed them, are they things you've written? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:09:41 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @BryanThomasS Aether Age is a shared world anthology that I co-edited, an alternate-historical concept ....#sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:10:26 +0000 2011)montsamu: @mbranesf not to mention more mbranes, while hatching the Doubles... You're making the rest of us look like slackers, dude. #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:10:46 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf Oh awesome. I've always been fascinated by shared worlds #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:10:50 +0000 2011)mbranesf: ....and Fantastique Unfettered is a new magazine edited by @nithska, which my press publishes #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:10:58 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf Oh, so you publish more than one. That's really awesome. And a lot of work, I imagine. #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:11:20 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @BryanThomasS Aether Age is based on the idea that ancient civs gained the printing press way back then #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:11:36 +0000 2011)mbranesf: Yeah, FU is a the new one, two issues out so far. It is a GORGEOUS print periodical #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:12:20 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf Congratulations on that as well! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:12:49 +0000 2011)montsamu: @mbranesf on favorites, I've been curious: favorite ACE double, and do you remember which was your first and where you bought it, #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:13:04 +0000 2011)sffwrtcht: What made you decide to take the leap of becoming an editor and founding a zine? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:13:14 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @montsamu A fave double is the one with Delany's Captives of the Flame, because it was the first one I had #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:14:15 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @montsamu I got it a used bookstore when I was really youn #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:14:30 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @sffwrtcht I edited a Trek zine when I was a kid and alwasys loved that kind of thing. Decided I needed to do it again.... #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:15:07 +0000 2011)mbranesf: ...I had the plan for M-BRANE in the works for years, but finally time and technology was right for it #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:15:32 +0000 2011)sffwrtcht: @mbranesf Ah, kid fanzine editor. LOL Awesome! Wish I'd had such ambition! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:15:36 +0000 2011)sffwrtcht: When did the zine debut, how many issues have you had and how often? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:15:46 +0000 2011)
eruditeogre: @mbranesf wow, that is a lot on your plate. How do you do it all? Replicants? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:15:50 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @sffwrtcht I did 22 monthly issues when I was 14 to 16 years old #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:15:56 +0000 2011)sffwrtcht: @mbranesf Good God. You were quite the young entrepreneur! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:16:29 +0000 2011)pattyjansen: @sffwrtcht do you see yourself primarily as writer or editor? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:16:48 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @sffwrtcht I debuted M-BRANE SF in Feb 2009, and am about to do the 28th issue #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:16:52 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf Awesome. That's great. So it's monthly. #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:17:17 +0000 2011)montsamu: @BryanThomasS bit.ly/jOFBVk "I Will Come Home" was @mbranesf's CG #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:17:35 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: What type of story defines the core story for MBrane SF? i.e. what are you looking for? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:17:45 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @pattyjansen It's hard to say. I am at heart more of writer, but I am for some reason drawn to editor role a lot #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:18:04 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @RickNovy @pattyjansen Thanks for joining us! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:18:18 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @RickNovy I know right? It doesn't seem that long (Rick, by the way, was in my debut issue) #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:18:30 +0000 2011)
RickNovy: @mbranesf In the running for most appearances I'd guess. #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:19:02 +0000 2011)sffwrtcht: Awesome, Rick, and I know one of our regulars @pattyjansen’s appeared in the zine. Who are some other authors you’ve published? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:19:08 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @BryanThomasS The "core" story type is hard to identify. It's science fiction, but I like weirdness and strong characters a lot #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:20:25 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf Weirdness and strong characters.Ok. Anything you haven't seen a lot of but would like to? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:20:58 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @BryanThomasS I don't see as much interesting far-future stuff, stories by/about women, or realistic gay material as I'd like #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:22:03 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @BryanThomasS Particularly stories by women have been sparse in the in-box lately #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:22:34 +0000 2011)sffwrtcht: Ok ladies, there you have it. @mbranesf is calling you! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:22:35 +0000 2011)mbranesf: This is a recurring problem. I know there are more women with stories that I want than what I am seeing #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:23:18 +0000 2011)
shadowflame1974: RT @mbranesf: @BryanThomasS Particularly stories by women have been sparse in the in-box lately #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:23:30 +0000 2011)sffwrtcht: Do you have any special training or qualifications as far as editing goes? Or just a love of the genre & great stories? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:23:38 +0000 2011)pattyjansen: @mbranesf how do you know that. At any one time, the ASIM slush pool is 60-75% male... #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:24:09 +0000 2011)RickNovy: @mbranesf #sffwrtcht What has the male-female author ration in FU been? (Thu May 26 01:24:09 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @sffwrtcht I was a high school journalism kid and did writing and production, which kind of hooked me into it #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:24:18 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf I loved your editorial on manuscript formatting. Really great entry into that whole 'controversy' #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:24:50 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @RickNovy It's interesting that the male/female ratio for FU has been about 50/50, maybe a but more female #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:24:57 +0000 2011)sffwrtcht: What are your goals for the future with the zine? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:25:14 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @BryanThomasS Thanks. It seems like people get too stuck on stuff that's probably out of date now #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:25:22 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @pattyjansen Mine seems to trend about 80 percent male lately #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:25:49 +0000 2011)
jolantru: RT @sffwrtcht: Ok ladies, there you have it. @mbranesf is calling you! #sffwrtcht(Thu May 26 01:26:08 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf And in the end, with publishing software, is not all that important. Drives me nuts! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:26:15 +0000 2011)pattyjansen: @mbranesf I'd say that's pretty much typical for SF #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:26:32 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf Does that really ruin the reading experience for the editor? If that's what their worried about, wrong business! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:26:41 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @BryanThomasS I actually have the slackest guidelines as far as that kind of thing of anyone I think #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:27:22 +0000 2011)mbranesf: Also, I take simultaneous and multiple subs, which most don't. I don;t care. It's all the same to me #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:27:55 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf I think bare minimums are essential but nitpicking underline v. italics and such gets silly #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:27:58 +0000 2011)pattyjansen: @BryanThomasS I think it's a way of showing that you've READ the guidelines #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:28:27 +0000 2011)mbranesf: Thanks, Sam :) RT @montsamu: @BryanThomasS bit.ly/jOFBVk "I Will Come Home" was @mbranesf's CG #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:28:31 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf Good to know. I have a story I've been meaning to send to you. It's been compared to old school Heinlein, etc. #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:28:33 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @pattyjansen Yes but ultimately the story is what matters #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:29:03 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: What do subscriptions cost and where can we find the zine? #sffwrtcht(Thu May 26 01:29:32 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @pattyjansen @BryanThomasS Indeed. Tho mine are bascially "send stories, wait for reply." #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:29:51 +0000 2011)pattyjansen: @BryanThomasS sh*t formatting and 'trivial' stuff can def derail a busy editor in first few paras #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:29:58 +0000 2011)RickNovy: @pattyjansen #sffwrtcht But there have been zines I have refused to submit to because guidelines were too much work. buy it and I reformat. (Thu May 26 01:30:07 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @pattyjansen I know but sometimes the trivial stuff as I mentioned gets silly if that's their only reason #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:30:22 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @RickNovy Exactly my point. I've done the same! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:30:45 +0000 2011)pattyjansen: @RickNovy totally, but that's the mag's problem ;-) #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:30:54 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @RickNovy @pattyjansen ANd I have occasionally asked for a reformat upon sale if the original was too messed up #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:31:00 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: Ok. enough on formatting. LOL Are you open for subs now and What’s the typical turn around time on submissions? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:31:12 +0000 2011)sffwrtcht: What do subscriptions cost and where can we find the zine? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:31:39 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @BryanThomasS We are always open for submissions. RT is seldom more than about 3 weeks (I clear the stack every month) #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:32:05 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: Besides @RickNovy and @pattyjansen who are some other writers who've appeared in the zine? Any favorite stories? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:32:32 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @sffwrtcht Info is at my site (kind of trying to draw you to news about the Double): bit.ly/kiwEwk #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:33:34 +0000 2011)RickNovy: @mbranesf #sffwrtcht Which after I edited 12 I totally get (poor formatting).(Thu May 26 01:33:52 +0000 2011)mbranesf: Subscrip info and a free issue is at the other site: bit.ly/9rL34F #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:34:15 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf Yes, tell us more about the Double #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:34:30 +0000 2011)montsamu: @mbranesf actually on the Double - Not for me but there are some good novellas out there that need a good home. :) #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:34:55 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @BryanThomasS The Double is a duo of short novels by Brandon Bell and Alex Jeffers, presented in the old Ace style... #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:35:20 +0000 2011)mbranesf: ...and it (the Double) is due out in just a few days #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:35:49 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: It's a really great idea and great opportunity for writers! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:35:55 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf I love the cover art on The Double! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:36:11 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: What are your goals for the future with the zine? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:36:27 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @montsamu For sure!

Best of luck! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:37:38 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: You also edited an anthology of queer specific titled “Things We Are Not.†Tell us about that please. #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:37:40 +0000 2011)

I would have if you hadn't! #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:39:41 +0000 2011)BryanThomasS: @mbranesf So those were extra stories, not ones pulled from your submissions for the zine? #sffwrtcht (Thu May 26 01:39:59 +0000 2011)mbranesf: @kaolinfire I don't think I have quite that situation, but recently I had qualms about an item that I went ahead with anyway #sffwrtcht ...
