Pro Se Productions Partner and Editor-in-Chief Tommy Hancock announced today that he along with more than 50 other writers
from around the blogosphere would help launch the Beta Test of Phase 1 of the
return of Amazing Stories on Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013!
Amazing Stories was
the world's first science fiction magazine. Published by Hugo Gernsback, the Father of Science Fiction,
the magazine created the genre's first home and was instrumental in helping to
establish science fiction fandom – the fandom from which all other fandoms have
evolved.
The magazine itself
ceased publication in 2005; in 2008 the new publisher, Steve Davidson,
discovered that the trademarks had lapsed and applied for them. The marks were finally granted in 2011.
Phase 1 introduces
the social networking aspects of the site and the Blog Team, more than 50
authors, artists, collectors, editors, pod casters, designers and bloggers who
will address 14 different subjects on a regular basis – SF, Fantasy &
Horror literature, anime, gaming, film, television, the visual arts, audio
works, the pulps, comics, fandom, science and publishing.
Hancock stated, "Of course, with my interest in Pulps, a lot of my focus will be there, both Classic and New. But I'll also cover a few other topics salient to Pop Culture that interests me, including old time radio, penny dreadfuls and dime novels, adaptations of classics, and more."
Those wishing to
participate in the Beta Test should request an invite by emailing the publisher,
Steve
Davidson.
