Welcome to the direct descendant of Dragon's Lair Webzine:

In this issue there are new writers, new chapters in our continued stories, new continued stories begun, updates on our reports, our letter column, and a new cartoon.

Please visit our letter column and drop us a note. Our writers like to read the Lettercol to look for words of encouragement. Not many of you readers have the time to send e-mail to the writers whose stories you especially enjoyed. Well, that's why our Assistant Editor worked up the Letter Column Page, so folks can let everyone know what kind of job they're doing. Its helped me to realize that I need to do a better job proofreading, something that I did this issue. I may not have caught every mistake, but I caught more of 'em!

I'd like to thank those of you who have sent e-mails for your feedback. Keep those e-mails coming, folks! Without those messages we will never know what we need to improve upon. Hope you like the improvements so far!

We had 634 Readers visit Aphelion in September! Thank you! Please keep coming back for each new issue as it goes online.

Also, there are links to back issues of Aphelion at the bottom of this page. You can still see everything that has appeared in the Zine so far.

Some folks have asked about submitting Poetry: While we do not publish poetry ourselves, there is someone for the poets to turn to- The Writer's Club, a poetry Webzine run by one of our friends from the DALnet IRC Chat network. Visit #the_WritersClub on DALnet and check out the Writer's Club Webpage if you are poetically inclined. I have been informed that our parent Webzine is back into production! Dragon's Lair Webzine is back! Way to go, Roger! I knew you couldn't stay away for very long. This link will take you to Dragon's Lair Webzine so you can check it out. Also, one of our writers: Chad Cottle has begun his own Webzine called Titan. This next link will take you to visit Chad Cottle's "Titan"These links are repeated at the bottom of this page for your added convenience

And now, I'll shut up and let you get to reading. Thanks again for visiting. Enjoy yourselves!
