Hi guys,

Almost five months ago (has it been such a short time?) I started Avalon
Mists in response to a definite need -- there was so much wonderful creative
energy in the Gargoyles fandom, and no practical outlet for it save the
rat.org ftp archives. There are now new places for fanfic, but Mists
continues to grow at a rate of about one subscriber a day.

I had planned at the time to keep it going for as long as there was an
interest, but, unfortunately, fate has had other plans for me. It has been a
*very* interesting last few months, in the Chinese proverb sense. (May you
live in interesting times ...) I simply no longer have time to do the 'zine
*and* go to school, and work full time, *and* pursue my own writing.

Jill Morrison has (bless her!) volunteered to take over Avalon Mists.
::::Leva kisses Jill's cyberfeet.:::: I trust she'll do a wonderful job, and
I can't wait to read the new fanfics she's been talking about. (Her Q story
is one of my favorites. <G>) Jill's address is bx965@FreeNet.Buffalo.EDU, and
she's taking over all editorial duties. I thank her very much, and between
the third season and the movie, I suspect that Avalon Mists is going to
continue to be very popular.

Please send submissions to Jill. I'll read 'em if you send 'em at me -- but
Avalon Mists is now Jill's. 

I will still be lurking around, on Mary's listserv and the newsgroup, and as
time permits, I'll probably have the odd story or two to submit. (I'd go nuts
without my daily writing fix.)

Please remember that this address is gonna go byebye shortly; I'm now at
leva@primenet.com.

        Well, uh ... greetings!  :)  It seems I'm the new editor of
Avalon Mists.
        I'm 22, a journalism student at St. Bonaventure University in
western New York State (near Buffalo.)  I've written several things for
Avalon Mists: "Turnabout," "Lord, What Fools...!," and "The Exile."  I
have several other fanfics currently waiting to see the light of day,
although tha's not likely until next month ... more on that later.  :)
        I'm truly, truly grateful to Leva Mevis for the chance to take
over on AM, and I'm going to attempt to keep it much the same.  For this
first month, I'm going to be maintaining the system of simply relaying
the material on to all of you ... but by late August, early September, I
hope to change Avalon Mists back to a weekly issue.
        You see, on August 23, I'm going to be moving back to college ..
and my prefered e-mail system.  :)  So, until then, send all submissions,
requests, etc., to the freenet address ... and after that to
morrisjm@sbu.edu.  Sorry for the confusion ... I'll remind you when
moving day gets closer.  ;)
        So .. let's see some fanfic!  Crossovers are near-and-dear to my
heart ... and I'd be willing to serialize long stuff.  What about
alternate episodes?  Any suggestions?  :)
