Wilde Times

Alright, that’s an understatement.  Our new project is really starting to take shape, and we’ve got some tough decisions to make.  Got another little teaser for ya; here’s Nic’s take on Claire:

Another week gone by.  There’s a new issue of No.1R in the webcomics section, a new post by Nic, and some new archived pieces.  Be sure to check them all out and let us know what you think.

Also, we’re gearing up for the third Wilde Times Sci-Fantasy Writing Contest, so start brainstorming some ideas!

Peace,

Alex

Alright, I know it’s been a good long while since there’s been an update ( and I sincerely apologize to my loyal readers ), but things have definitely been moving along here.  I’m working with another writer on a new project!!  You should be quivering with anticipation.  Here’s a little teaser:

N0.1R fans, there’s a new one this week; check it out.

Peace,

Alex

Short because I want you to read Nic’s post this week.

New issues of N0.1R and It’s an Imp’s Life and some new (old) work has been archived in the Art & Lit section. 

Don’t forget about the AIR contest; see the details using the store link.

Peace,
Alex

Quite a bit this week, so I’ll keep the info short and sweet.

First up, new issues of N0.1R and It’s an Imp’s Life; check those out using the webcomics link.  Sorry, kiddies, you’ll have to sit on the edge of your seats a bit longer to see what’s about to go down in Wilde Times.

The Art, Literature, & Photography blog’s been updated with some archived content.  One of my site favorites tops the list.  Also, Pure NRG has a new one today.

And now for the big news: We’ve launched a new little contest. Hopefully, this will be the first of many of its kind.  I’ve called it an AIR Contest – Art In Response.  Hop on over to the store for more details!! But hurry the deadline is August 28!

Many, many thanks to Steve Richard for allowing us to use one of his images for this contest!  Check out his stellar work here: www.steverichard.com

Peace,
Alex

Hello, all!

New issues of N0.1R and WildeTimes are up in the webcomics section along with a new post from Nicolàs.  If you missed it last week, be sure to read the previous post for some important information.

Also, Wilde Times is going to start a run of smaller contests withing the next two weeks, so be on the lookout for that announcement.

Peace,
Alex

The economy.

I should really be grateful because, by and large, I haven’t been nearly as affected as a great many people have been by the horrible financial situation of the country.  I began to get really worried when a number of teachers with whom I work were laid off.  I read somewhere that teaching is the second most recession-proof job to have behind only childcare provider.  I’m not sure if that’s actually the case, but I’ve never seen a teacher get laid off before because of the economy, so it hit pretty close.  You may be wondering what the relevance of this post is to the general news of the site and why it’s not posted in my ranting section.  Well, here you go: the economy did pack a pretty significant punch over at Wilde Times.  The impact manifested itself in a couple of ways; most of them small, but noticable, nonetheless:

- There was a bit of a lull in posts and updates simply because we had to slow things down to conserve.

- The Second Wilde Times Sci-Fantasy Contest results were not posted as early as we’d hoped that they’d be.

- Here’s the one that making us mad: Publishing a collection of the winning stories is a costly endeavor.  We simply haven’t been able to make this happen, so there will not be a printed collection for the second contest.  Also, since the stories won’t be appearing in print, we thought it only fair to return publishing rights to the contest winners.  Anyone who ordered a collection has been refunded, and writers, please feel free to publish your winning stories in print and/or digitally.

So, without any further ado, here are the winners for The Second Wilde Times Sci-Fantasy Writing Contest!!!!

First Place – Summer Kennedy, All Things Converge

Second Place – Paul Casson, The Belly of the Beast

Third Place – Eric Burke, Enough is not Enough

Honorable Mention – Sean O’Brien, Treetop Flyer

Honorable Mention – Kristen Stieffel, The Last Buffalo

Congratulations to you all!

In other news:

We’ve done away with the film review blog.  It may reappear at some point in the future, so if you were a fan, let me know you want it back.  While we’ve lost one blog, we’ve gained another:

I’m excited to announce that Nicolàs is launching Pure NRG, a new blog featuring some of his writings, thoughts, and works.  Check it out using the “Blogs” link to the left.

If you’re interested in doing a bit of writing, shooting, drawing, or whatever for Wilde Times, check out the submission guidelines to the left.

New issues of Wilde Times and N0.1R are up in the webcomics section, and check back tomorrow for my first post in the musings section.

Yo.  New issues of WildeTimes, N0.1R, and It’s an Imp’s Life.

Adam should be updating the film blog soon, so keep your eyes open for that.

Also, beginning next week, I’m going to try to post some of my rants about things that I’ve discovered.  Things which will hopefully help my readers avoid some of the aggravation I’ve dealt with.

Be sure to head on over to the store and sign up for the Wilde Times Sci-Fantasy Contest!!

That’s part of a song…

At any rate.

This week, we’ve got lots of new things for you to check out.  First up, new issues of Wilde Times, N0.1R, and It’s a Imp’s Life.  Also, we’ve got a new blog from Adam Clark through which he’ll offer some film reviews and other opinions.

Next week may bring some more new stuff, so keep you’re eyes open.

Don’t forget about the Sci-Fantasy Writing Contest!!

Hello, all! This time around, we’ve got new strips of N0.1R and It’s an Imp’s Life. Wilde Times should return next week.
